22、e designer of machinery is under an obligation to assess the risks during all phases of the life cycle of the machinery (see EN ISO 12100:2010, Clause 4). This includes knowledge and experience of the design, use, incidents, accidents and harm. This European Standard elaborates EN ISO 12100:2010, An
23、nex B as far as ergonomics are concerned. This standard refers to European and International ergonomics Standards in the various relevant fields. The standards for ergonomic design of machinery, as referred to in this document, can help to avoid or reduce numerous hazards and risks, as assessed at t
24、he design stage, whilst considering the intended use, the expected use and the foreseeable misuse of the machinery. BS EN 13861:2011EN 13861:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard provides a methodology to achieve a coherent application of various ergonomics standards for the design of machinery.
25、 This standard presents a step model calling upon specific standards. To this end, Annex A shows a reference table with relation between hazards as described in EN ISO 12100:2010 and applicable B-standards related to ergonomics. This European Standard can only be used in combination with other relev
26、ant ergonomics standards. This European Standard provides guidance where no relevant or suitable ergonomics clauses in C-type standards are available. This European Standard may also be used for incorporating ergonomics in the drafting of C-type standards (see Annex C for further information). 2 Nor

34、f ergonomics standards in the design of machinery. Users of this standard should select and use a C-type standard for that particular machine. For issues related to ergonomics the described step model may be used as guidance through the process of selecting the appropriate B-type ergonomics standard
35、s, whilst carrying out a risk assessment according to EN ISO 12100. 4.2 Process for guidance to the appropriate ergonomics standards 4.2.1 General The guidance process is based on the general procedures for dealing with safety clauses. EN ISO 12100 provides a description of basic hazards, describes
36、intrinsic design measures, and gives a list of examples for hazards, hazardous situations, and hazardous events that occur when using machinery. In order to meet the essential health and safety requirements, the machinery shall be designed in accordance with EN 614-1 and EN 614-2. The following step
37、 model gives a methodology to achieve a coherent application of various ergonomics standards (see Figure 1). 4.2.2 Step 1: Hazard analysis and risk estimation Specify the limits of the machine with respect to ergonomics. Identify the hazards present at the machine during all modes of operation and a
38、t each stage in life of the machine by following the guidance in EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.4. Ergonomic aspects of machinery can only be assessed, evaluated and verified when all intended interchangeable equipment of the machinery are known. Ergonomics requirements are necessary when considering the oper
39、ator and the exposed persons. Specifying the limits of the machinery during the life cycle phases as described in EN ISO 12100:2010, 5.3, involves the following ergonomics aspects: BS EN 13861:2011EN 13861:2011 (E) 7 Table 1 Ergonomic aspects for specifying the limits of the machinery External preco
40、nditions (characteristics and restrictions) Work tasks (man/machine interface) Use limits (user groups) Intended and expected types of jobs Space limits Expected use of personal protective equipment Time limits duration frequency Foreseeable misuse Environmental conditions climate noise, lighting vi
41、bration dust, fume or other nuisances Annex B provides a checklist for listing the limits of the machinery. 4.2.3 Step 2: Investigation of applicability of standards Specify if a specific C-type standard exists. Check in the relevant C-type standard if the hazards generated by neglecting ergonomics
42、principles and related risks are dealt with. Check which B-type standards may be used instead of or in addition to the relevant C-type standard. If a relevant C-type standard is found, this should be followed first. Where appropriate, these C-type standards refer to A- and B-type standards for reduc
43、tion of risks, which are likely to occur with the machinery involved. If no suitable C-type standard is available, or if the C-type standard concerned does not cover ergonomics related risks sufficiently, see Annex A for relevant B-type standards. 4.2.4 Step 3: Evaluation of the risks using relevant
44、 ergonomics standards Assess the remaining risks related to ergonomics. Check whether these risks are relevant. Consider the ergonomics standards mentioned in relation to the relevant risks (see Annex A). Check if these standards have been used to optimize the design of machinery. BS EN 13861:2011EN
45、 13861:2011 (E) 8 In order to carry out the risk evaluation, the respective horizontal B-type standards on general and specific ergonomics related risks shall be considered. These standards are classified in Annex A (a short description of these standards can be found in Annex D). Ergonomics related
46、 risks are significant if a human being and the machinery are part of a common work system (man machine interface). This interaction involves a mutual role as an interface as a tool, a fixture, an energy source or a link in a safety chain. See EN 614-1 and EN 614-2. 4.2.5 Step 4: Risk reduction usin
47、g the various standards Use one of the following alternatives: a solution as described in a C-type standard which refers to B-type standards for ergonomics where relevant; relevant B-type standards for ergonomics where no C-type standard is available; other (additional) references, related to ergono
48、mics. All the relevant and significant risks shall be reduced. However, there may be one or more reasons why some risks cannot be dealt with, e.g. there is no information available or the standard is restricted to some specific items. If the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) has to be taken
49、 into account when designing the machine, an additional risk assessment shall be carried out in order to check that all essential health and safety requirements, including ergonomics, have been satisfied. 4.2.6 Step 5: Verification Check if all relevant and significant ergonomic related risks have been removed or reduced with the help of applicable standards.
