Specific risks
Occasional access during special operation, in particular, to assist movement of the web, leading to a mediumprobability of severe injury.
Specific safety requirements
a)Access to the cross-folder unit shall be prevented.Where full-height fence guards (see lSO 11111-1-2005,
A.3) are provided to guard the particularly dangerous machine elements of the cards, these shall beextended along the sides of the cross-folder unit and conveyors and shall extend across the end, unless itis guarded by other means.
b)Where there are doors in the fence guard between the cross-folder and roller-clearer card sections, these
shall be interlocked with guard locking.
c)Where openings in the fence guards to allow access to the conveyors to assist movement of the web at
start-up (e.g. using long poles) are provided, they shall not allow access to the danger zone for hand orfingers in accordance with ISO 13852.Alternatively,supplementary guards shall be provided within thefence guard to prevent access to drives or other danger zones through the opening (e.g. a tunnel guardmay be suitable).
