Mechanical hazards

Hazards may arise due to

unprotected parts with controlled movement which are freely accessible and which form, for example, crushing points, shearing points, cutting and puncture points, drawing-in and catching points, and impact points,

parts with uncontrolled movement, such as tipping, rolling, sliding or falling parts, or parts which become detached, burst and fly away, and media spraying under pressure or centrifugally hurled media or working material,

surfaces such as corners, edges, tips, blades, high surface roughnesses,

slippery surfaces, stumbling points,

mobile equipment, for example connected with remote control systems, guidance systems, reverse travel, driving with restricted field of vision, on unpaved road surfaces with load whose centre of gravity shifts.
