CHAPTER 2
-
Safety and Accident Prevention
The
Brobo Group 3M Drill
has been designed and manufactured in accordance to Australian Standards. It is
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
that the instructions and warnings contained in this chapter be carefully followed for
correct usage of the machine.
2.1
Operation of the Machine
The
Brobo Group 3M Drill
is specifically design to drill through ferrous metal cross sections with thin-walled or
‘plate’ profiles. Other types of material and machining are not compatible for use with the specifications of the
drill.
This machine involves high-speed revolutions; therefore extreme caution is required when operating
the device.
The employer is responsible for instructing the personnel who, in turn, are obliged to inform the operator of any
accident risks, safety devices, noise emission and accident prevention regulations provided for by national and
international laws governing the use of the machine.
The operator must be perfectly aware of the position
and functions of all the machine’s controls.
All those concerned must strictly adhere to ALL instructions, warnings and accident prevention
standards in this manual.
The following definitions are those provided for by the
EEC DIRECTIVE ON MACHINERY No. 98/37/CE
:
Danger Zone -
any zone in and/or around a machine in which the presence of a person constitutes a risk
for the safety and health of that person.
Person Exposed
- any person finding him or herself, either completely or partly in a danger zone.
Operator -
the person or persons given the responsibility of installing, operating, adjusting, maintaining,
cleaning, repairing and transporting the machine.
2.1.1 Noise Level
The noise level of an idling drill unit has been measured to be
below 85
dBA
.
This complies with the
Australian
Occupational Health and Safety (Noise) Regulations 1992
.
Please note that peak impulse noise levels will be experienced due to variables including drill characteristics,
type, and condition. This will also vary accordingly depending on the size and type of sample being drilled.
Under these circumstances, management should make available to the operator(s) the appropriate hearing
protection equipment as prescribed under the above stated act.
