Identified Hazards
The following hazards have been identified that are intrinsic to the Dumpmaster design. For
each hazard a full Risk Evaluation has been completed and control measures described.
Blank template spaces are provided at the end for machinery owners to identify, assess
and control additional application-specific hazards.
Entanglement or amputation of fingers or limbs in moving parts
Operator
LO:

Operator
LO:
0.5
FE:
4
DPH:
1
NP:
1
Risk Factor:
2
The operator is protected from the cradle by the frame and guarding during
operation. A door safety interlock ensures that the door can only be opened
when the cradle is on the ground, and the cradle cannot be raised unless the
door is closed and locked.
Significant safety margins ensure that the probability of failure of any steel,
hydraulic, or control parts failing is very low.

As above.
Control
measures
Operators are responsible to obey warning signs fitted to the machine and
instructions, regarding keeping himself and others away from the area under
the cradle when raised.
The machine must be regularly maintained, and all faults repaired
immediately.
Comments
A hydraulic speed-control valve limits the maximum speed of descent in
normal use.
