Horrible stories • 17-year-old male warehouse worker died when the forklift he was operating tipped over and crushed him. How can that happen?
Using Storybuilder 1) Select forklift trucksand loss of control event vehicle turns over…….
2) Loss of control event – vehicle turns over – we have 56 cases with 58 victims 3) We can examine the causes: Load related, speeding, ability to drive related etc…
It is also possible to look at the management failures to deliver the safety barrier: Here failure to provide competence and motivation not to drive too fast dominate
A horrible story in the pizzeria • 15-year-old male pizzeria worker was killed when he became entangled in a machine used to mix pizza dough. • He apparently lifted the cover of the mixer, uncovering the 32-inch-diameter mixing bowl, and started the machine. • As he reached in to the bowl to clean it, he became entangled on a large mixing fork (beater) that rotated inside the mixing bowl. His co-workers heard him scream, but were unable to reach him in time.
8.1 Machine accidents • Every year around 400 reported machine accidents in the Netherlands involving contact with moving parts • Occurs mostly in manufacturing industry Deaths Permanent injuries Recoverable injuries
8.1 CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS OF FIXED MACHINE • In 80% of cases the machine is on when the accident happens • In 20% of cases the machine is offbut then suddenlyswitched on/ or there is still residual movement i.e. lock-out/ tag-out or mechanical (un)blocking failure.
Entering the danger zone • 66% of accidents result from entering the danger zone of the machine, half of the time intentionally…so.. • …in 35% of cases the person consciously ignores the danger zone • Errors in operating the machine occurs in 11% of cases, resulting in ejected parts or unintended movement of machine.
8.1 CONTACT MOVING PARTS OF MACHINE – Management failures • Management failed to provide adequateequipment to prevent the accidents (30% of accidents ) • Procedural failures in providing prevention measures (30% of accidents ) • Safety motivation failures in operating machines safely and not entering the danger zone (20% of accidents)
Machine guarding • 30% of cases had no machine guard provided
8.1 MACHINES – type of contact • Pinching/crushing/trapping was the dominant problem (65%) • Piercing/cutting (23%) • Pulled in by clothes/hair entanglement (10%)
MACHINES: Limiting factors after contact • In 20% of cases the emergency stop wasn’t used, was out of reach or not provided • In 20% of cases it was used to limit injury
MOVING MACHINES: INJURIES • Around 50% of injuries involve traumatic amputations of body parts • Practically all of these are lost fingers or lost hand • 50% of known cases of lost time were more than 1 month of which 10% of all known cases were more than 6 months • When deaths occurred head, shoulders and whole body injuries were indicated
Dutch top 10 1998-Feb 2004 • (3150) 8.1 Contact with moving parts of a machine • (1658) 3 Contact with falling/dropped/collapsing object/person falling under gravity • (1135) 1.1.3 Fall from height roof/floor/platform • (1066) 1.1.1 Fall from height ladder • (556) 1.1.2 Fall from height scaffold • (552) 2 Struck by moving vehicle • (517) 11 In or on moving vehicle with loss of control • (412) 1.2 Fall on same level • (302) 8.3 Trapped between/against • (279) 1.1.5.3 Working on height unprotected
