Study Notes

Responsibilities

Supplier: Responsible for design, construction, installation, and risk reduction measures.
User: Identifies and mitigates hazards at points of operation, focusing on layout, installation, setup, operation, and maintenance.
Integrator/Modifier/Rebuilder: Addresses hazards, collaborates with original suppliers for modifications, and conducts risk assessments for modifications.
Personnel: Must follow training and safety procedures for machine operation and maintenance.

Risk Assessment Process

Applies to interactions between complete zone control systems and individual control systems.
Evaluates individual control systems in relation to each other within the zone.
Essential when systems include combinations of sections or single units.

Layout Design Requirements

Must consider:
- Access and egress
- Hazards linked to work tasks
- Work flow efficiency
- Adequate lighting
- Engineering controls
- Safety device control spans
- Defined zones
- Space for air quality systems and pedestrian movement
- Waste management

General and Training Requirements

Operators, maintenance personnel, and supervisors require specific training tailored to their responsibilities.
Training covers:
- Use of manual and local controls
- Safe installation and adjustment methods
- Emergency stop devices testing and function
- Energy isolation and maintenance procedures
- Equipment operation prior to production initiation

Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment

Robots exhibit unique operational characteristics, which include:
- High-energy movements across large areas
- Predictable initiation and movement paths can be challenging
- Overlapping operational spaces between robots
Risk management involves:
- Elimination of hazards through design
- Prevention of operator exposure to hazards
- Use of safeguarded spaces and careful layout design.
Key tasks include:
- Process control and monitoring
- Workpiece loading and programming
- Maintenance and cleaning
- Troubleshooting and correcting malfunctions

Additional Standards and Guidelines

ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012 details safety guidelines for industrial robots.
