4.1 Mechanical hazards
This clause contains the significant hazards and hazardous situations, as far as they are dealt with in
this European Standard, identified by a risk assessment significant for this type of machinery and
which require action to eliminate or reduce the risk.
When using this standard, it is important to carry out a risk assessment of the individual functional
groups in accordance with EN 1050 to check whether it has hazards additional to the ones covered by
this standard.
