01 / The challenge
Make machinery risks visible.
The assessment focused on rotating machinery and its safeguarding: identifying hazards around couplings, fan covers and potential pinch points, and reviewing the protection provided.
02 / The approach
Assess. Analyse. Recommend. Report.
- Identify machinery hazards and assess risks
- Review safety distances and guard design
- Define improvements and risk-reduction actions
- Report findings with actionable recommendations and tracking
Reference framework
ISO 12100
The assessment approach references ISO 12100 for hazard identification, risk assessment and risk reduction. Findings and recommended actions are structured around the machinery hazards and the measures needed to reduce risk.
View the standard03 / The priorities
A clear basis for follow-up.
The assessment identified improvement priorities across guarding, safety distances, warning and labelling, and maintenance and inspection. The project overview recorded the safety status as in progress.
Recommendations included fixed guarding, verification of guard integrity, and review of clearance and warning markings.
