Safety of Machinery - Safety requirements for hot flat rolling mills (Austrian Standard)

This European Standard specifies the general safety requirements for plant and equipment used for the manufacturing of metal hot rolled flat products from the material entry station, through the forming stations, to the exit. It describes the foreseeable, significant hazards - so far as this is possible for this particular machinery - and indicates possible preventative measures for avoiding the hazards and reducing the risks. Manufacturers shall perform a risk assessment specific to their machinery, its use and environment (other machinery, buildings etc.) in order to determine which hazards are significant and decide the preventative measures to be taken. It deals not only with circumstances where the machinery is used as intended, but also includes other conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, such as foreseeable faults, malfunctions or misuse.
