Are Your Machines Safe??

Aug. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Stop Time Measurement is now available from Lovegreen Machine Safety!

Current OSHA regulations and ANSI standards requires that a machine's stop time be measured to determine how long it takes a machine to stop after a stop signal is given.

Most accidents occur as a result of a reflex action or simply not paying attention to one's surroundings. Often a machine operator will instinctively reach for something when there is a problem.

Or they will be focused on a task and enter a hazardous area without thinking about it. Tripping towards a hazard is another common occurrence.

In these situations, it is necessary that the machine's safety devices stop the machine before the hazard is reached.

Lovegreen can provide stop-time measurement readings for various types of industrial machines, including mechanical and hydraulic power presses, press brakes and on machines that utilize rotational movement like conveyors, indexing tables, and production line drive shafts.

Experienced Lovegreen personnel conduct the inspections using a stop-time measurement device to take the stop-time readings. Lovegreen uses the same stop time analysis Saftimeter as OSHA to assure consistent results.

Inspections include details on each machine as to its compliance to current safety regulations (OSHA) and current safety standards (ANSI). Stop-time measurement readings taken on individual machines are used to help determine the minimum safety distance required for placement of the machine's operating controls or safeguarding devices used during production operations, such as safety blocks and die blocks.
