One result of this is that the safety components will not be a hindrance. This minimizes the risk of the safety system being defeated.New machinesThe following requirement is given by the Machinery Direc-tiveFrom 2006/42/ECThe manufacturer of machinery or his authorised repre-sentative must ensure that a risk assessment is carried out in order to determine the health and safety require-ments which apply to the machinery. The machinery must then be designed and constructed taking into account the results of the risk assessment.The standard EN ISO 12100 gives guidance on the informa-tion required to allow risk assessment to be carried out.The standard does not point out a specific method to be used. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to select a suitable method. Machines in use A risk assessment must have been carried out on all ma-chines that are in use; CE-marked as well as not CE-marked. A risk assessment must also be performed when making changes on a machine, to determine if the safety measures needs to be adapted.Documentation of risk assessmentThe risk assessment shall be documented. The risk assess-ment should take into consideration the severity of the potential injuries as well as the probability that they occur. 11– 8SAFETY PRODUCTS CATALOG ABB JOKAB SAFETY
