A complete list of all the hazards mentioned in EN 1050 is given in Annex A. Their precise descriptions form the basis for the safety precautions stipulated in clause 5. Before applying this standard, it is necessary to consider the hazards relating to the continuous handling equipment and its planned use in order to ensure that all hazards have been identified. 4.2 Mechanical hazards 4.2.1 Crushing and shearing Crushing and shearing may occur where components move towards or closely past one another. 4.2.2 Entanglement, drawing-in and trapping Hazards generated by the entanglement, drawing-in and trapping of persons, body parts or clothing may arise in proximity to circulating belts, pulleys, idlers, shafts and couplings, chains and sprockets or other circulating or rotating components. Trapping and entanglement hazards occur in particular due to protruding sharp edges, teeth, bolts/screws, lubricating nipples and other projecting parts or rough surfaces of circulating or rotating components. Belt conveyors involve drawing-in hazards, in particular at nip points where the belt runs onto pulleys or idlers, or narrow passages are formed between the belt and fixed parts, and where persons' body parts or limbs may be drawn in. It shall be remembered that belt conveyors with reversible direction of movement have two in-running nips at each pulley, idler or narrow passage. 4.2.3 Stability Stability may be lost due to: a) overloading; b) insufficient anchoring; SIST EN 14658:2005+A1:2010



EN 14658:2005+A1:2010 (E) 10 c) inadmissible shifting and transport operations; d) wind; e) derailment.
4.2.4 Hazards generated by fracturing and rupturing during operation Fracturing of the drum shaft (e.g. following bearing damage) may cause the belt drive to fall off, generating a hazard for equipment parts or persons. Rupturing of pressurized hydraulic lines can generate a hazard for equipment parts or persons. 4.2.5 Hazards generated by slipping, tripping and falling Hazards may occur in the form of slipping, tripping and falling, e.g. as a result of poorly designed walkways. 4.3 Electrical equipment hazards Hazards may occur due to: a) direct contact with electrically active parts as a result of damage to insulation or sheathing; b) faulty disconnection of electrical power; c) ingress of handled material or moisture into electrical systems. 4.4 Thermal hazards Hazards may arise due to:
a) heat generated by the movement of defective components of the continuous handling equipment; b) heat generated by a relative movement (e.g. slip) between components of the continuous handling equipment; c) the temperature of the handled material. 4.5 Radiation hazards Continuous handling equipment may also use radiating devices (e.g. laser measuring instruments, X-ray equipment or measuring apparatus operating with radioactive beams) for measuring and monitoring purposes The operation of such devices may generate hazards. 4.6 Hazards due to handled materials Hazards may arise due to the spillage, caking, ejection or falling-off of handled materials or due to dust.
4.7 Hazards due to neglect of ergonomic principles The neglect of ergonomic principles may lead to persons having to work in an unhealthy posture at continuous handling equipment (e.g. in the control station), involving excessive physical effort or mental overload or underload. SIST EN 14658:2005+A1:2010



EN 14658:2005+A1:2010 (E) 11 4.8 Hazards due to energy supply failure Hazards (e.g. unintended movements on inclined continuous handling equipment) may arise due to a) failure of the energy supply; b) failure/malfunctioning of the control system. 4.9 Combination of hazards Hazards may arise from combinations of individual hazards. 5 Safety requirements and/or measures 5.1 General To apply type B standards EN 294, EN 349 and EN 811, the manufacturer shall carry out a special risk assessment in accordance with EN 1050, enabling him to select the appropriate design criteria from the above standards to ensure an adequate level of safety. NOTE This special risk assessment is part of the general risk assessment relating to hazards not covered by this standard. Continuous handling equipment shall comply with the safety requirements and precautions covered in this clause. In addition, such equipment shall be designed in relation to relevant but non-significant hazards not covered by this standard, in compliance with the principles of EN ISO 12100-1 and EN ISO 12100-2. The safety of continuous handling equipment cannot be ensured by technical measures alone. To achieve an adequate level of safety, therefore, organizational measures also have been implemented. The interaction between technical and organizational measures shall be taken into account when designing the continuous handling equipment and be covered in the operating instruction handbook. 5.2 Mechanical hazards 5.2.1 Crushing and shearing hazards 5.2.1.1 Travelling, lifting, slewing and other movement mechanisms The operating personnel shall be suitably protected from crushing and shearing in the working area, e.g. by means of guards. Where drive failure allows unintended movements, automatic arresting devices shall be provided. Railbound continuous handling equipment and mobile appliances forming part of continuous handling equipment (e.g. feed hoppers) shall be equipped with anti-drift devices. Devices shall be installed which prevent overrunning of the end positions of the counter-directionally moving parts, while allowing for an adequate run-on distance. Where necessary, a second downstream device shall be installed which, in the event of the first device failing, will safeguard the end positions. Where the risk potential is high, this second device shall be independently effective, mechanically and electrically. To re-start a drive that has been deactivated by such a second device, there shall be devices in place which necessitate a special re-start procedure. The limit switches shall either allow positive opening operation in accordance with EN 60947-5-1 or shall offer comparable reliability. SIST EN 14658:2005+A1:2010



EN 14658:2005+A1:2010 (E) 12 5.2.1.2 Take-up devices for conveyor belts and chain conveyors a) Power-actuated take-up devices: where a hazard may arise as a result of the tensioning process, the tension force shall be restricted in such a way that no overloading occurs in any of the power train elements. In the case of take-up devices operated by remote control or automatically, safety distances shall be observed in accordance with EN 294 or guards provided in accordance with EN 953. b) Gravity take-up devices: safeguards with safety distances in accordance with EN 294 shall be provided to prevent any contact with accessible moving parts of the take-up device.
Access to the space beneath gravity take-up devices is permitted for repair purposes only. If the lowermost part of the gravity take-up device is accessible, a safeguard is required as protection against the mass falling. The safeguard shall be effective during access beneath the gravity take-up device. 5.2.2 Entanglement, drawing-in and trapping In working areas, in-running nips and other points generating hazards shall be fitted with guards in accordance with EN 953 or the s
