Hazards on strapping machines 4.1 General This clause lists all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events that can be found on typical strapping machines. Before using this European Standard, the manufacturer shall establish that the hazards on his machine correspond to the hazards described in this European Standard. If the manufacturer identifies hazards that are not listed in this clause, he shall assess these hazards by using the principles detailed in EN 1050. The hazards on a specific strapping machine can vary depending on its working principle; the type, size and mass of the product; the packaging material; auxiliary equipment attached to the machine and the environment in which the machine is used. The hazards that occur on most strapping machines are listed in 4.2 and the hazards that are specific to particular types of strapping machine are listed in 4.3 to 4.7. 4.2 General strapping machine hazards 4.2.1 General The following hazards occur on most strapping machines. 4.2.2 Mechanical hazards 4.2.2.1 Moving parts Strapping machines incorporate moving parts which present a variety of mechanical hazards including crushing, shearing, cutting, entanglement, friction and drawing-in. Stored energy can cause some of these hazards to persist after the power supply has been cut off.

Parts of the machine e.g. sealing mechanisms and drive motors, which have high surface temperatures, can cause burning hazards. See EN ISO 13732-1 for details of the burn thresholds for different materials and contact times. The burning hazard will usually continue to exist for a period of time after power has been disconnected. 4.2.5 Noise Noise generated by strapping machines can result in: a) permanent hearing loss; b) tinnitus; c) tiredness, stress etc.; d) other effects such as loss of balance, loss of awareness; e) interference with speech communication; f) inability to hear acoustic warning signals. 4.2.6 Hazards from products and materials 4.2.6.1 Hazards generated by products Strapping machines are used to pack a wide range of products, some of which can be potentially hazardous to persons operating or in the vicinity of the strapping machine during normal operation or if a package containing a hazardous substance is damaged in the strapping machine. Hazards generated by the product can include: a) ingestion of harmful substances e.g. insecticides, aggressive or harmful chemicals, pharmaceuticals; b) fire or explosion e.g. flammable liquids, explosives, dusty products; c) biological hazards e.g. vaccines; d) impact by ejected packaging materials or products e.g. broken glass. 4.2.6.2 Strapping materials Strap will typically be made from plastic, metal or paper. These materials present the following hazards: a) burning hazards from hot plastic or plastic strap; b) inhalation of harmful substances from heated or burning plastic e.g. polyester strap (PET); c) cuts from strap edges or ends; d) cuts from metal clips. 4.2.7 Hazards due to neglecting ergonomic principles Hazards to safety and health can occur when people are carrying out the following activities on strapping machines:

4.2.11.2 Strap feeding mechanism The strap feeding mechanism, which on most machines will be contained within the strapping head, pulls strap from the accumulator if fitted, or directly from the strap dispenser. The strap feeding mechanism presents crushing, drawing-in and entanglement hazards.

Powered strapping tools will incorporate most of the mechanisms described in 4.2.11.1 to 4.2.11.8 however some of these mechanisms will be powered by hand or require manual intervention. Where mechanisms are powered, there is the potential for crushing, shearing, drawing-in, entanglement, cutting and burning hazards. In addition there is the risk of transmitting vibration to the operator’s hand and an impact hazard if the operator drops or loses control of the tool. Muscular skeletal injuries can occur if ergonomic design principles are neglected e.g. if the mass of the tool is too great or the work requires repetitive movements or awkward postures.

4.4.2 Strap dispenser On semi-automatic strapping machines the strap dispenser may be positioned underneath or to one side of the machine, In addition to the hazards described in 4.2.11.1. Back strain or other muscular skeletal problems can occur if the manufacturer does not take into account ergonomic design principles when positioning the coil holder.
