Where do I need to locate my emergency stops?
This podcast is going to cover, not just where to locate your emergency stops around your machines or on the machine itself, but what else you need to consider. This is will help make the decision process much easier, and you will at least have some clarity of what to think about, when you need to think about installing emergency stops on or around machines.

| Safety and Reliabiltiy of control systems | 05 Nov 2024 | 00:11:46 | |
Description
The safety related part of the control system, is the brains, it's the intelligence, it's the part of your machine that will decide, if something is safe for you to interact with or not.
BEST MOMENTS
· 1 - Can they operate in the environment that you are using it? · 2 - A fault in the hardware doesn’t create a hazardous situation. · 3 - Errors in the control system logic do not lead to hazardous situations. · 4 - Reasonably foreseeable human error during operation does not lead to hazardous situations.

| The 7 bad arguments against machinery safety. | 29 Oct 2024 | 00:15:03 | |
Description
The work of someone who is interested in improving safety of machinery isn't one, where you identify an issue, report it and then it smoothly gets done with no resistance or pushback. - If only life was that straight forward.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
You will get opposition, and challenge, from curious questioning to outright disagreement and everything in between, sometimes from the same person in the same conversation.
BEST MOMENTS
Are there people who don't seem to do very much, but have a lot of influence in the important decisions around safety at your place of work?

| Contents of Machinery manuals Part 1 | 15 Oct 2024 | 00:15:21 | |
Description
Once you've got hold of your maintenance manual, and the type of information you should expect to see contained within it
I'm going to cover the first 8 area's that you might expect to see in the manual, not all of it will apply to your machine, but it will give you a good indication of what to expect, and it is up to you to either provide it, if you are a manufacturer or request it, if you are the buyer of the machine. This episode has been made to serve both.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· As a manufacturer you must state how the machine must be used, it sounds obvious, but you must state it, and be precise about the purpose of the machine.
· Once the operators are trained in the safe use of the machine, you can then think about what if any residual risks are around the machine.

| Safe operating modes using the D.I.C.E model. | 17 Sep 2024 | 00:10:36 | |
Description Machines operate in different modes, and there are key characteristics of changing these modes of operation if you want to ensure operator safety. There are at least 4 key requirements that must be in place before, you change the mode of operation of a machine, and I'm going to cover them in more detail.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
When considering mode selection think about how are you going to disable the normal hazards and control the machine in a safe manner. Remember that all 4 of these must be in place before you put it into service, this is not meant to be an order of priority but a means to help you remember the key requirements.
Think D.I.C.E.

| What is a guard? | 13 Aug 2024 | 00:14:59 | |
Description
This is going to be a deep dive into what a guard is, the required characteristics, the types, how to choose and where to get more information, for creating your guard design.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Guards come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and are defined as providing protection by a physical barrier, some are obvious and some are not so. A guard doesn't necessarily have to be painted a certain colour, like red or yellow.
BEST MOMENTS
There are 6 key characteristics that all guards must have, without anyone of these it simply can't be classed as a guard. Guard physical barrier, designed as part of the machine to provide protection NOTE 1 A guard may act either
⎯ alone, in which case it is only effective when “closed” (for a movable guard) or “securely held in place” (for a fixed guard), or
⎯ in conjunction with an interlocking device with or without guard locking, in which case protection is ensured whatever the position of the guard.

| How to deal with hazards on machines. | 03 Oct 2023 | 00:07:34 | |
Description
How to approach hazards and apply the hierarchy of controls
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· When faced with a hazard on a machine, it is really important to know how to manage those hazards. · However there are times when the machine cannot run slower or have forces that a below hazardous limits and for it to function as a machine due to commercial reasons.
BEST MOMENTS
· The last two of the hierarchy of controls are really the last resort to be used as a primary control but will often be used to enhance other control measures. · The machinery directive or regulations uses the three step method, and the hierarchy of controls can be broken down

| How to structure a machinery risk assessment. | 29 Aug 2023 | 00:17:27 | |
Description
How to approach risk assessments for machinery safety.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· The very first thing we must do is to is get a feel for the machine · How you determine where a score sits in relation to the level of risk, is your risk profile.
BEST MOMENTS
· If the process of carrying out a risk assessment creates a situation of fear of challenge, or confusion, then it can end up doing more harm than good. · A subjective risk assessment might identify unrealistic scenarios that are not foreseeable or practicable · The risk assessment will determine what that initial level of risk is, and the evaluation will determine whether or not to proceed to the next level · By the very nature of having a group of people assess a hazard, it removes the subjectivity from the issue.
