LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS

  • • ABNT: The Brazilian Association for Technical Standards Cat: Safety Category CC:
    • CC: Control Category (B, 1, 2, 3, 4); the category already decisively (deterministically) dictates the safety-related quality of an SRP/CS. While CC B and CC 1 deal with the quality of the component used, higher categories demand additional components (channels) which are able to compensate for the failure of individual components.
    • CCF: Common Cause of Failure is when multiple faults resulting from a single cause produce a dangerous failure. A car that has a malfunction in 4 brakes at the same time, for instance.
    • DC: Degree of diagnostic coverage, the capability for fault detection, which is usually automatic.
    • EC: Europe Community
    • EN: Regional Standard, used by the European Union, not available for public distribution.
    • IEC: International Electrotechnical Commission
    • ISO: International Organization for Standardization
    • MTTfd: Mean time to failure dangerous. Time to a dangerous failure of a component or mechanism. This information should not be confused with the guaranteed service life.
    • NBR: Brazilian Standard Reference
    • NR: Regulatory Standard
    • OM: Other Measures
    • PFH/PFHd: Probability of Dangerous Failure per Hour
    • PL: Performance Level (EN ISO 13849-1:2006) There are 5 PL’s (a, b, c, d, e), whereby the safety-related quality increases from “a” to “e” in line with the growing level of risk to be covered.
    • PLr: Required Performance Level (based on risk evaluation).
    • SIL: Safety Integrity Level (EN IEC 62061:2005) There are 3 SIL’s (1, 2, 3), whereby the safety-related quality increases from “1” to “3” in line with the growing level of risk to be covered.
    • SILCL: SIL Claim Limit (EN IEC 62061:2005) Maximum Safety Integrity Level (SIL) that can be claimed for an electrical safety system, taking account of architectural constraints and systematic safety integrity.
    • SRB: Safety Relay Modules (Sicherheits-Relais-Bausteine)
    • SRP/CS: Safety Related Part of Control Systems Sub-PL/Sub-SIL: PL or SIL at subsystem level. A subsystem is a system which, with reference to a partial task, already performs a safety function appropriately (for example an input module which safely detects inputs).
    • B10d value: Number of cycles until 10 % of components in a random sample of at least 7 prototypes have failed dangerously This is for components affected by wear, i.e. mechanical, pneumatic and electromechanical components.
    • T10d Value: Guide value for a preventive replacement (10 % of the B10d value). With this value approximately 63 % of all components have already failed dangerously. Here the EN ISO 13849-1:12006 standard recommends replacement.

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR RISK ASSESSMENT

  • 2.1 Legal obligations

    The Regulatory Standard NR12 - Machinery and Equipment and their attachments define technical references, fundamental principles and protective measures to ensure the health and physical integrity of workers and establishes minimum requirements to prevent accidents and occupational diseases during the design phase and the use of machines and equipment of all sorts, and also to its manufacture, importation, commercialization, exhibition and concession regardless of the circumstances, to all economic activities, subject to compliance with the provisions within the other Regulatory Standards - NR approved by Ordinance No. 3214 of 8 June 1978 within the official technical standards and, in the absence or omission of such, within the international standards applicable cited below.

    Directive 2006/42 / EC is a revised version of the Machinery Directive, the first version which was adopted in 1989. The new Machinery Directive applies are in force since December 29th , 2009. The Directive has the dual purpose of harmonizing health and requirements safety for machinery at a high level of basic health protection and safety, ensuring the free movement of machines on the Market Community. The revised Machinery Directive does not introduce radical changes compared to previous versions. This makes it clear and consolidates the provisions of Guidelines in order to improve their practical application. The Machine Directive states that machinery should not present any risk (Risk Assessment according to ISO 14121-1). Since there is no zero risk in technology, the goal is to achieve an acceptable residual risk. If safety is dependent on control systems, these must be designed so that the probability of functional errors is sufficiently low. In order to find all essential health and safety it would be reasonable to use harmonized standards which have been created in accordance with a mandate from the European Community and are published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (Compliance Assumption). This is the only way to avoid spending extra time and effort demonstrating compliance in the event of a claim.

    The Risk Assessment procedure is described with its health essential safety requirements related to the design and construction of machinery which may be found in Annex I of the Machinery Directive as follows:

    The machine manufacturer or their authorized representative shall ensure that the Risk Assessment is compliant in order to determine the health and safety requirements that are applied to machines. Machinery must be designed and constructed taking into account the Risk Assessment results.

    By the iterative process of Risk Assessment and Risk Reduction, the manufacturer or their authorized representative shall:
    • Determine the limits of the machines which include its intended use and any bad foreseeable use;
    • To identify the hazards that can be generated by machines and situations associated with danger;
    • To estimate the risks, taking into account the severity of possible injuries and damage health and the probability of these happen;
    • Assess the risks in order to determine when the risk reduction is required according to the purpose of the Machinery Directive;
    • Eliminate the hazards or reduce the risks associated with the hazards by application Protective measures:

    2.2 Approach used for risk reduction

    1) Define the machine limits;

    2) Determine all hazardous areas;

    3) Identify hazards in accordance with ISO 12100 [If available, machine specific standards (Type C standards must be considered)];

    4) Estimated Risk in accordance to ISO 12100;

    5) Risk Assessment and if necessary, risk minimization with the following measures: The sequence of measures should be observed thoroughly.
    Step 1) Inherent safety through projects and constructive measures
    Step 2) Technical protective measures
    Step 3) Informative measures

4. RISK ASSESSMENT AND RISK REDUCTION PROPOSALS

  • ABNT ISO 12100 will be used during the Risk Assessment of the machine(s), which meets the assessment process with its harmonized standard.
    Within ABNT ISO 12100, Risk Analyses are under its bases and principles of general guidelines.
    In addition, ABNT ISO 12100 standard specifies principles of technical guidelines in order to support technical designers to design safe machines.
    The assessment of machinery risks and determination of the Safety Integrated Level (SIL) necessary are performed by using the EN 62061: 2005 + Corr. 212008. Each determined PFH value is converted to a performance level (PL) ccording to EN 13849-1. Brazil adopts safety category B, 1, 2, 3 and 4 according to NBR 14153.

    4.1 Areas subject to hazards and risks

    The standard way of evaluation by ACE Schmersal is used for the evaluation
    procedure of different hazards and risks derived from the machine. The evaluation criteria
    are taken from EN 62061: 2005 + Corr.2: 2008.
    According to ISO 12100 an estimate of risk and evaluation will be provided for
    each particular hazard. In addition to it, all phases of a machine's life are considered in
    accordance with ISO 12100.
    Note: In order to make the reasons clear, this document only considers life stages in which
    hazards have been identified or were considered significant.
    4.2 Parameters used for Risk Assessment according to EN 62061: 2005 + Corr. 2: 2008 and Hazard Rating Number (HRN) method.
    Risk Assessment must be made for each individual hazard, the following risk parameters should mandatorily be evaluated.

4.2.1 Severity (S) and Degree of Possible Harm (DPH)

  • Injury severity or health damage can be estimated taking into account reversible injuries, irreversible injuries and death. Choose the appropriate value based on the injury
    severity impact, wherein:

  • Severety.png
  • Harm.png
  • 4.2.2 Frequency and Exposure Duration (F) and Frequency Exposition (FE)

    Consider the following aspects to determine the level of exposure:

    Access necessity to the danger zone during the construction phase, transportation, assembly, installation, adjustment, operation, cleaning, maintenance, inspection,
    decommissioning and disassembly;
    - Natural access, for example, manual material supply, start-up settings.
    - Afterwards, it should be possible to estimate the average interval between exposures and the average frequency of access.
    - It should also be possible to predict the duration, e.g.,> 10 min per access.
    When the duration is less than 10 min, the value must be decreased to the next level.

    This does not apply to frequency of exposure <= 1 h, which must not be reduced at any time.4.2.2 Frequency and Exposure Duration (F) and Frequency Exposition (FE)

    Consider the following aspects to determine the level of exposure:
    Access necessity to the danger zone during the construction phase, transportation, assembly, installation, adjustment, operation, cleaning, maintenance, inspection, decommissioning and disassembly;
    - Natural access, for example, manual material supply, start-up settings.
    - Afterwards, it should be possible to estimate the average interval between exposures and the average frequency of access.
    - It should also be possible to predict the duration, e.g.,> 10 min per access.
    When the duration is less than 10 min, the value must be decreased to the next level.
    This does not apply to frequency of exposure <= 1 h, which must not be reduced at any time.

    Frequency.png
  • In order to explain this requirement in the previous paragraph, if the exposure frequency for instance is between 1 per day and one every 2 weeks and the duration is longer than 10 minutes then you use the value of 4. However, if the duration is less than 10 minutes and then value of 3 may be used. If exposure frequency however is less than or equal to 1 hour, then we cannot change the value.

  • 4.2.3 Dangerous Events Probability (P) and Probability of Occurrence (PO)

    This parameter may be estimated taking into consideration:

    This parameter can be estimated taking the following into consideration:
    a) The ability to foresee the conduct of machinery components with relevance relating to the hazard in different types of use (e.g. normal operation, maintenance,
    troubleshooting).
    b) The specified or predictable features of human behavior in terms of the interaction with machine components relevant to the hazard. This can be characterized by the following:

    • Stress (e.g. time pressure, tasks, recognized damage limitation) and/or
    • Lack of awareness of information relating to the hazard. This is influenced by factors such as dexterity, training, experience and complexity of the machine/the process.
    A “very high” probability of the occurrence of a hazardous event should be guaranteed to reflect normal production necessities and worst case considerations.
    Clear reasons are required if using a lower value (e.g. a precisely described application and a high level of knowledge about user abilities) are required to any lower value.

    Liklywood.png
  • 4.2.4 Probability of avoiding or limiting damage (A)
    This parameter can be estimated by considering aspects of machinery design and the intended use of the machine which can help to prevent or limit the damage caused by a hazard. These aspects include the following, for example:
    • Sudden, fast or slow occurrence of the hazardous event;
    • Spatial possibility for moving away from the hazard;
    • The character of the component or the system, for example a knife is usually harp, a pipe in a dairy is usually hot, electricity is by its nature dangerous and also invisible; and
    • Possibility to detect a hazard, for example an electrical hazard: a copper rail does not alter its appearance irrespective of whether it is energized or not; to find out whether someone needs an instrument to establish whether electrical equipment is energized or not; ambient conditions, for example, can prevent the high noise levels that a person hears when a machine starts up.

  • The classification is given by the following table:

    PO.png
  • 4.2.5 Damage Probability Class (C)

    Where the severity line (S) crosses the column class (C), the intersection point indicates what safety integrity level (SIL) is required, assigned as the target for the safety Related Control Function (SRCF). The lighter green areas should be used as a recommendation that other measures (OM) should be used.
