Types of Accidents Likely to Occur

Mechanical injuries

Major Hazard Factors

The clutch and brake are not interlocked or malfunction, resulting in the unintended movement of the slider and causing injury.

Primary Preventive Measures

1. A braking system should be installed that can both impede the movement of the slider and support it, and which remains effective at any position.

2. The control systems for the clutch and brake should be interlocked and operate effectively.

3. During equipment maintenance or repair, an energy lockout device should be used or a dedicated supervisor should be assigned.
