Abstract

Safety of machinery is an area, which, at the first glance, appears as solved and sufficiently specified by regulations and harmonized standards in the EU. However, the reality is that, according to statistics, the machinery, including lifters, conveyors, and similar equipment, is a source of as much as 25% of all serious work injuries annually. Machinery condition, method of performed activities, environment in which the machine is located, are basic factors projected into hazardous event origination. This contribution, based on the status analysis protective measures of more than 100 machineries, evaluates the level of measures implemented on the equipment throughout its life cycle. Within the research, the methodology was proposed, evaluating the efficiency of protective measures on three levels: on the machinery itself; in relation to machines existing within the given operation, as well as complex level of machinery safety in an organization.
