Anybody who works in machinery knows that, apart from the
 assistance they
provide and the perfect work they produce, they also constitute a permanent risk
potential. Take an industrial robot, for instance; it autonomously performs
highly complex work procedures but is unable to react appropriately if a person
enters its radius of operation. Another case in point are the CNC-controlled
machine tools that perform jobs such as drilling, lathing and milling fully
automatically either in a given sequence or even simultaneously, as required.
Such equipment has a significant risk potential particularly when maintenance or
service has to be performed.
These two examples alone clearly demonstrate how important comprehensive
analysis of a workplace context is in order to restrict the risks in man/machine
interaction to an absolute minimum.
The specialists working at TÜV Rheinland Product Safety GmbH have great
experience and expertise in this area. Their work includes risk analyses for
new, second-hand and modernized machines, integrated plants and complete
production systems, thus facilitating the performance of the relevant tests
which, if passed, lead to the award of international recognized certificates
and, subsequently, successful export activity.
Their wide-ranging, profound experience and worldwide connections also enable
TÜV Rheinland Product Safety GmbH's members of staff to provide support in the
development of new machines and plants. The early incorporation of their
expertise, during the planning phase, means that appropriate safety concepts,
economic aspects and many other criteria can all be achieved from the start.
This does not only lead to safety, it frequently produces a
significant cut in costs.
