EN 15093:2008 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2003. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this European Standard. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. Where for clarity an example of a preventative measure is given in the text, this should not be considered as the only possible solution. Any other solution leading to the same risk reduction is permissible if an equivalent level of safety is achieved. This European Standard assumes that the equipment is operated and maintained by trained personnel. SIST EN 15093:2008

3.7 trained personnel persons with the knowledge of systems, background, experience and ability to operate and/or maintain the equipment in the intended use and proper operation of the machinery/equipment 3.8 unauthorized person person not permitted to enter certain areas of the hot flat rolling mills, or to perform certain actions in relation with the operation and/or maintenance of the equipment, because of not having the required specific knowledge and skill and not being properly equipped to avoid the related hazards 3.9 maintenance service, inspection and repair 3.10 modes of operation different modes of operation under which machinery and equipment of hot flat rolling mills (single machines or groups of interconnected parts) can function a) manual mode mode in which every single function of the equipment is controlled by an operator by means of a hold-to-run control or equivalent device (see 3.26 of EN ISO 12100-1:2003) b) semi-automatic mode mode of operation of the machinery consisting of a series of automatic sequences (summary of functions) into which the whole working cycle is subdivided and, at the end of each sequence, started by the operator and then controlled by a programmable electronic system (PES), the operation is automatically stopped, and a new command of the operator is needed to initiate the next sequence c) automatic mode process, e. g., a cycle of successive or parallel sequences, once initiated by the operator, which is totally controlled by a PES and in which the repetition of the working cycle of the machinery takes place (as long as the running conditions are met) without any operator intervention required 3.11 safety layout description of line-related equipment with safety functions to ensure safe operation of the hot flat rolling mill avoiding hazards or hazardous situations for, e. g., unauthorized access or having another line-related safety function (see 5.1.3) 4 List of significant hazards This clause contains all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events, as far as they are dealt with in this standard, identified by risk assessment as significant for this type of machinery and which requires action to eliminate or reduce the risk. The risk identification was determined as follows: a) potentially hazardous situations having significant risks; b) the safety requirements and/or measures which shall be incorporated into the machinery/equipment; c) any special instructions which shall be communicated to the user. The significant hazards and hazardous situations identified are listed in columns 1 and 2 of Table 1. In addition it is important for the manufacturer to carry out an individual risk assessment according to EN ISO 14121-1 to identify any other significant hazard of the machine/equipment. Significant hazards identified in this SIST EN 15093:2008



EN 15093:2008 (E) 11 individual risk assessment but not dealt with in this European Standard shall be reduced by applying the principles of EN ISO 12100-2:2003. The risk assessment shall take into account the interfaces between the machinery and the environment (e. g., other machinery and/or buildings), see Annex G. 5 Safety requirements and/or measures 5.1 General requirements for design, planning and risk assessment Hot flat rolling mills conforming to this European Standard shall comply with the safety requirements and/or measures set out in clause 5 together with those set out in Annexes A and B and the information for use as defined in clause 7.
This European Standard assumes that:  installations are operated and maintained by adequately trained and competent personnel; manual intervention for setting, adjustment and maintenance is accepted as part of the normal use of the equipment;  the machinery is used with adequate workplace lighting conforming to EN 12464-1 or to local regulations. In general, risks and associated hazards are production and plant-related. The main differences arising from the processing of different materials in different qualities and the surroundings (i. e. different combination of machines, different boundary conditions, see Annex G). The resulting variety of "different plants" could not be covered in all details in a European Standard. To deal with this fact, an individual risk assessment of the hot flat rolling mill in question shall be carried out (see 4) considering the safety requirements of this European Standard. Where the means of reducing the risk is by the physical arrangement or positioning of the installed machines, the manufacturer shall include in the information for use a reference to the reduction means to be provided, and to any limiting value of the requirement, and, if appropriate, to the means of verification. Where the means of reducing the risk is by a safe system of working the line, the manufacturer shall include in the Information for use details of the system and of the elements of information required by the operating personnel. This shall include protective measures used according to 4.11.9 and 4.11.10 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003 to run a machine for essential operating reasons or in special mode with safety devices suspended or temporarily modified. The manufacturer shall also include in the information for use all details required for a safe operating process under normal operating condition. He shall also describe the specific safety measures in case of special operating modes, e. g., maintenance and adjustment work. The requirements also apply to under floor areas of the plant. 5.1.1 Planning of hot flat rolling mills Manufacturers of hot flat rolling mills are normally not involved in planning the entire plant (e. g., halls, civil works). But in any case they have to take into account the following aspects in order to ensure good placement and safe operation of the hot flat rolling mill:  accessibility;  clearance gaps for maintenance and cleaning;  escape routes;  movement of machinery and material;  safe operation; SIST EN 15093:2008



EN 15093:2008 (E) 12  health and safety at the workplace;  prevention of emissions hazardous to health at the workplace. 5.1.2 Structural assembly The manufacturer shall undertake and record design calculations to show that the structural assembly, e. g., steel sections, auxiliaries, and services, which form part of the equipment are adequate for safety functions under intended use. 5.1.3 Safety layout The manufacturer shall prepare a safety layout document of the whole hot flat rolling mill. The aim of the safety layout is to give information (normally by means of one or more drawings) about the physical position along the hot flat rolling mill of safety related elements like, e. g.,  segregating devices (guards, fences, trip devices, etc.) intended to prevent access to danger areas of the plant;  doors and other points of access (where required with related locking and/or interlocking devices) to the plant;  escape routes (if necessary, e. g., for large plants);  emergency stop buttons;  warning devices and safety signs (warning signs for, e. g., forbidden access, X-rays). The safety layout shall be included in the manufacturer's instructions for use. 5.1.4 Access to operating points All parts of the equipment such as control stands, pulpits, underground areas, inspection and service floors, to which personnel is required to have access, shall be easily and safely accessible. Means of access, such as stairways, walkways, platforms, etc. shall be provided in accordance with EN ISO 14122-1, EN ISO 14122-2, EN ISO 14122-3 and EN ISO 14122-4. Where required, they shall be protected against heat radiation and designed to withstand moving material, tools and jets of high pressure fluids or gases. Surfaces for walking or standing shall be selected so that the risks of slips, trips and falls caused by scale, oil, emulsion and/or lubricant are avoided or minimized. 5.1.5 Access to danger zones 5.1.5.1 Access of unauthorized personnel to hot flat rolling mills is not permitted. In the information for use (e. g., safety layout), the manufacturer shall inform the user about those areas to be considered. 5.1.5.2 In general access to danger zones shall be avoided by guards. Access to danger zones is only permitted after the operation of the equipment has been stopped and the related risks (e. g., stored energy, temperature, radiation) have been isolated according to EN ISO 13849-1 and EN 1037. An exception is only possible taking into account the requirements of 5.1.5.3. Where possible remote monitoring (e. g., cameras, mirrors, probes, etc.) shall be used to prevent the need for personnel access. The relevant category for control devices covering safety functions in relation with access of persons to danger zones during operation or maintenance, shall be selected according to Annex A. 5.1.5.3 For inspection purposes appropriate safety measures and/or intervention procedures shall be applied to allow authorized personnel access to danger zones under operational conditions, e. g., it might be necessary to SIST EN 15093:2008



EN 15093:2008 (E) 13 enter the danger zone at mill stands or drives for inspection. For these specific actions safety measures shall be considered, in particular:  conditions for access: at least operation at reduced speed and other measures like indication to the main pulpit, switching to manual control mode, switching off the X-ray measuring device;  conditions for staying/working, e. g., switching off the fire extinguishing system, hold-to-run control with full overview of the danger zone, operation at reduced speed;  conditions for re-start: access doors shall be closed (taking care that no person is inside the danger zone) and reset-button has been pushed (or similar action). Normal operation speed shall only be achievable if interlocki
