Work equipment and installations with a high risk for health and safety of employees should be paid a special attention. The German Product Safety Act, which is aimed to manufacturers or distributors in order to protect consumers, maintains a conclusive catalogue of these so-called "installations in need of monitoring" fixing the work equipment and installations for which such special inspectio...

thermal hazard weighting function as described in by IEC TR 60825-9. All measurements were taken with traceability to national standards. Results: The results are presented as a 9-stage flow diagram. The home-use IPL hair removal device used in this worked example under worst-case conditions shows that any exposure to the human eye will not permanently damage retinal tissue and that safety eyew...

A workplace in the manufacturing industry consists of not only stationary equipment (e.g., machining centres, fixed robots) but also mobile equipment (e.g., automated guided vehicles, mobile robots), with both kinds cooperating directly with workers. Workplace equipment should not only be safe, it should also not generate fear or anxiety; still better if it should inspire calm and confidence. I...

BACKGROUND Systematic reviews and a network meta-analysis show home safety education with or without the provision of safety equipment is effective in promoting poison prevention behaviours in households with children. This paper compares the cost-effectiveness of home safety interventions to promote poison prevention practices. METHODS A probabilistic decision-analytic model simulates health...

Using conventional rigid industrial manipulators for service robotics applications typically demands huge efforts for safety measurements resulting in high installation and operation costs. We present how the BioRob robot arm is based on a combination of compliant actuation and lightweight mechanical design to obtain the flexibility, mobility and, most important, the inherent safety properties ...
