You analyse the risks that may arise during the use, maintenance or assembly of a machine, device or installation. Based on this analysis, you determine which measures are needed to reduce risks to an acceptable level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A risk assessment therefore forms the foundation for safe products, correct manuals and a responsible production process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Why-Is-a-Risk-Assessment-Necessary\">Why Is A Risk Analysis Necessary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>User safety is always paramount. European directives, such as the Machinery Directive (2006\/42\/EC), require manufacturers to carry out a risk assessment. Without a proper assessment, you risk not only accidents, but also legal liability, product recalls and reputational damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benefits of such an assessment are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You ensure the safety of the end user&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You comply with legal requirements&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You prevent costly modifications afterwards&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You reduce the risk of claims and liability&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You improve the quality and reputation of your product&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A well-executed risk assessment leads to clear and understandable instructions. As a result, your product becomes both safe and user-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"European-Standards-And-Risk-Assessment\">European Standards And Risk Evaluation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>European directives set safety requirements, but do not always specify <em>how<\/em> to achieve them. Standards provide practical guidance and translate legal requirements into concrete actions. Harmonised European standards, such as EN ISO 12100, describe the general process and key considerations for performing a risk assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standards are divided into three types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Type A Standards<\/strong>: These define fundamental safety principles and provide a general methodology for risk assessment and risk reduction. EN ISO 12100 is the main example.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Type B Standards<\/strong>: These address general safety aspects or protective measures applicable to different machines. They are divided into:<ul><li><b>B1 Standards<\/b>: General safety aspects, such as safe distances and ergonomics<\/li><li><b>B2 Standards<\/b>: Specific protective measures, such as emergency stops or guards \n<\/li><\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Type C Standards<\/strong>: These contain specific safety requirements for particular machine groups. They describe hazards, risk reduction measures and user instructions tailored to a specific category.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This classification helps you identify hazards and define appropriate measures for each product. Type C standards often include tables or descriptions of hazards and corresponding protective measures, providing practical guidance for compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example: Risk Analysis For A Hedge Trimmer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the C standard for electric hedge trimmers (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nen.nl\/en\/nen-en-iso-10517-2019-en-256458\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EN ISO 10517<\/a>), you will find a list of relevant hazards, such as mechanical, electrical and thermal risks. For each hazard, recommended measures are defined, for example two-hand control to prevent cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard also sets requirements for the user manual, including clear instructions and warnings. This creates a direct link between the risk assessment and practical safety instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"The-Risk-Assessment-Process\">The Risk Assessment Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A risk evaluation follows a fixed structure. This ensures that no steps are missed and that all relevant hazards are considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step-By-Step Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Step<\/td><td>Activity<\/td><td>Action<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1<\/td><td>Hazard Identification<\/td><td>Identify all possible hazards: mechanical, electrical, thermal, noise, radiation, hazardous substances, ergonomics, environment and combinations. Consult relevant standards.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2<\/td><td>Risk Analysis<\/td><td>Determine the risk for each hazard. This is often done using a risk graph, considering likelihood, severity of injury and exposure.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3<\/td><td>Risk Evaluation<\/td><td>Assess whether risks are acceptable. If not, additional measures are required.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4<\/td><td>Risk Reduction<\/td><td>Apply measures in the following order:<br><strong>Safe design<\/strong>: eliminate hazards where possible.<br><strong>Protective measures<\/strong>: guard or protect against hazards.<br><strong>Instructions and warnings<\/strong>: inform users about residual risks.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5<\/td><td>Documentation And Verification<\/td><td>Record the entire process and verify that risks are sufficiently reduced.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Iterative Nature Of Risk Assessment<\/strong><br>Risk assessment is not a one-time activity. Design changes or new applications can introduce new risks. Therefore, review and update your assessment regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Effective-Safety-Instructions\">Effective Safety Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all risks can be eliminated. Remaining residual risks must be clearly described in the manual. These instructions are part of the risk assessment and are essential for safe use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good Safety Instructions Meet The Following Criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clearly Structured<\/strong>: use bullet points and a logical sequence&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Concrete Instructions<\/strong>: describe exactly what the user must do, the expected result and how to verify it&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Imperative Form<\/strong>: address the user directly and clearly (\u201cAlways wear safety gloves\u201d)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Warnings And Signal Words<\/strong>: use terms such as \u201cCaution\u201d, \u201cWarning\u201d, \u201cDanger\u201d at the correct point in the procedure&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Labels And Warning Symbols<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to manuals, labels and pictograms on the product are important. They attract attention and provide critical information at a glance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two categories are distinguished:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Operating Instructions<\/strong>: indicate correct operation, such as on\/off symbols&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Warning Signs<\/strong>: highlight specific hazards, such as moving parts or electrical voltage&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All symbols must be explained in the manual. In some cases, symbols are supported by warning texts that include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The nature of the hazard&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Possible injury&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to prevent the injury&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This creates a consistent set of visual and textual safety information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Risk-Assessment-And-The-Role-Of-The-Manufacturer\">Risk Assessment And The Role Of The Manufacturer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The manufacturer or designer is responsible for carrying out the risk analysis, preferably during the design phase. Define the limits of the product:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use Limits<\/strong>: intended and reasonably foreseeable misuse&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spatial Limits<\/strong>: positions and geometric constraints&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time Limits<\/strong>: expected lifetime and wear-sensitive parts&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Include these limits explicitly in both the assessment and the manual. This helps prevent incorrect use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Risk Analysis In Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, a risk analysis is a team effort. Involve designers, engineers, safety experts and users. Use checklists and risk graphs as tools. Document all findings in a structured report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does A Risk Graph Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A risk graph combines factors to determine the risk level, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Severity of possible injury (minor, serious or fatal)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequency of exposure&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Probability of occurrence&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Possibility of avoiding the hazard&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This results in a visual classification of risk levels, such as low, medium or high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Mistakes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many errors arise from an incomplete or inconsistent application of the assessment process. An overview of common mistakes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Describing only residual risks without reducing them through design or protection&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incomplete hazard analysis due to lack of multidisciplinary input&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unclear instructions, leading to incorrect risk assessment by users&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid these pitfalls by following the process carefully and critically reviewing the outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Support-From-An-Expert\">Support From An Expert<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A professional risk analysis forms the basis for safety and efficiency.
