4.3 Electrical hazards
Hazard of electric shock from direct or indirect contact with live components.
Hazard of external influences on electrical equipment (e. g. cleaning with water).
4.4 Thermal hazards
Where the mixing bowl has a double wall for heating or cooling during mixing, there is a hazard of burning
when touching hot or cold surfaces of the jacket.
4.5 Hazards generated by noise
Mixers with horizontal shafts can generate an airborne noise being able to involve a deterioration of hearing or
accidents due to the interferences with the oral communication and the perception of the acoustical signals.
4.6 Hazards resulting from the inhalation of harmful mists and dusts
Loading the products exposes operators to dust including flour and ingredients which may be harmful to their
health, causing rhinitis (running noses), watering eyes and possibly occupational asthma (see also 4.7 below).
4.7 Fire or explosion hazard
When loading, mixing or discharging finely divided, dusty materials, a hazard of dust explosion exists when
dust/air mixtures are present between the lower and upper explosive limits.

EN 13389:2005 (E)
4.8 Hazard generated by neglecting hygienic design principles
The neglect of hygienic principles can create unacceptable modification of foodstuff and therefore a risk to
human health of the operator and consumer, i.e. through physical, chemical or microbial pollution.
4.9 Hazards generated by neglecting ergonomic principles
During operation, cleaning and maintenance, there is a risk of injury to the body resulting from awkward body
postures.
Movement or filling of the bowl especially at heights can create a risk of injury to the body from lifting, pushing
and pulling of heavy loads.
5 Safety and hygiene requirements and/or protective measures
5.1 General
