This paper describes an experiment to examine whether a visual warning system can improve detection of moving machine hazards that could result in struck-by or pinning accidents. Thirty-six participants, twelve each in one of three age groups, participated in the study. A visual warning system capable of providing four different modes of warning was installed on a continuous mining machine that is used to mine coal. The speed of detecting various machine movements was recorded with and without the visual warning system. The average speed of detection for forward and reverse machine movements was...
Tailings disposal is a significant consideration for the mining industry, with the majority of the ore processed in most mining operations ending up as tailings. Several tailings dam failure accidents have occurred during the past few years and mine tailings dam failures, which are disastrous with the serious damage and the loss of lives, are occurring at relatively high rates. To improve the tailings dam safety, a tailings dam monitoring and pre-alarm system (TDMPAS) based on the internet of things (IOT) and cloud computing (CC) is accomplished with the abilities of real-time monitoring of the...
Development of a worked example The Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) were originally approached by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to assist with the implementation of Safety Performance Indicators (SPIs) within the Explosives industry. This work builds on the examples and indicators identified in previous work (Ferguson and Nash, 2008), and aimed to encapsulate the types of activities common to a large number of organisations. Previous work to generate Safety Performance Indicators (SPIs) had resulted in little consistency or commonality across the industry group in terms of the leading...
This code of practice is intended to provide guidance on safety and health in the use of machinery at the workplace. A Meeting of Experts on Safety in the Use of Machinery was convened in Geneva from 29 November to 7 December 2011 and adopted a code of practice on safety and health in the use of machinery.

Guards on machine tools are meant to protect persons from injuries caused by parts ejected with high kinetic energy from the machine's working zone. With respect to stationary grinding machines, Standard No. EN 13218:2002, therefore, specifies minimum wall thicknesses for guards. These values are mainly based on estimations and experience instead of systematic experimental investigations. This paper shows to what extent simple impact tests with standardizable projectiles can be used as basis for the evaluation of the impact resistance of guards, provided that not only the kinetic energy of...
Longtemps restée dans le domaine de l'empirisme, l'utilisation des engins fait aujourd'hui l'objet de règles nombreuses touchant à la fois au choix, aux vérifications et à la maintenance du matériel, à la formation du personnel, ainsi qu'à la conduite proprement dite. C'est pourquoi ce manuel comprend deux parties : l'une consacrée aux aspects purement réglementaires, l'autre plus spécifiquement dédiée aux règles de bonnes pratiques en matière de conduite d'engins...
La rubrique « Innovation et technologie », dépendant de « Produits et services », vient d'être mise en ligne. Elle a pour objectif de présenter les dispositifs techniques de prévention conçus par l'INRS puis fabriqués et diffusés par des partenaires industriels. Une dizaine de produits sont actuellement décrits. Afin d'aider les entreprises à mieux maîtriser les risques professionnels, l'INRS conçoit des solutions techniques de prévention, innovantes et fiables. Certaines sont...
The International Labor Organization (ILO) has posted online, a Draft code of practice on safety in the use of machinery. The draft document: • provides guidance on safety in the use of machinery at the workplace; • includes recommendations and requirements regarding the obligations, responsibilities, and rights of competent authorities, designers, manufacturers,suppliers,employers, and workers; • sets out technical requirements/information on the protection of workers against hazards, risk assessments, characteristics of guards and protective devices; • provides safety requirements...
The project seeks to establish good practice for securing loads on rigid-sided lorries across various industry sectors. Good practice in this case is defined as those methods that are the most practical, involve the least risk of loads becoming unstable or falling, least risk to the operator/driver, and are practicable. The scope of the project includes consideration of a range of methods currently used in the UK and abroad, as well as alternative methods for securing of different heavy cargoes on rigid-sided lorries. Reference is made to current European Standards and good practice guidelines...
One of the most versatile machines in woodworking, it can be used for mouldings, rebates and curved work. However, it can be dangerous if not used correctly, because of the risk of contact with the tool, and ejection of the tool part or workpiece.

Ce projet a permis la création d’un environnement didactique adapté à l’apprentissage des concepts de stabilité par de futurs caristes. La présente recherche a d’ailleurs vu le jour suite à une demande de membres du comité SISEC qui disaient éprouver, lorsqu’ils enseignent aux caristes, des difficultés à expliquer des notions qui concernent la stabilité des chariots élévateurs. Ces formations sont de nature théorique et portent sur la conduite sécuritaire des chariots...
L'INRS, en partenariat avec la société ACREOS, a développé une plateforme de simulation de conduite de chariot élévateur destinée à la formation des caristes débutants et expérimentés. L'un des objectifs principaux est d'appréhender le risque de renversement latéral, qui constitue la principale cause d'accident grave. La plate-forme ACREOS est un simulateur de conduite spécifiquement dédié aux chariots élévateurs et reproduisant très fidèlement...
Many workplace fatalities and serious injuries occur when workers are struck by or caught in heavy mobile equipment, such as forklifts, log loaders, dump trucks and bulldozers. A key factor is the poor visibility that equipment operators often have, which makes it difficult to see people on the ground. This project developed a wireless system that can detect and issue warnings when a machine approaches workers or certain objects, and shut down or slow the machinery if it gets too close. In year one, the sensor technology was refined, and a prototype of the device was built, installed in a forklift...

A study was conducted to quantify the service and parking brake performance of a small but representative range of agricultural trailers and trailed appliances in front-line service on UK farms to highlight possible inadequacies in trailer braking system specification and maintenance levels, particularly when used with faster (above 20 mph) tractors. http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrhtm/rr697.htm
