Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control Procedure

1. PurposeTo ensure that there is a formal process for hazard identification, risk assessment and control to effectively manage workplace and safety hazards within the Western Sydney University.

2. PreambleA Person Conducting A Business or Undertaking (PCBU) has obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act) as well as the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 (WHS Regulation) to manage risks to health and safety so far as is reasonably practicable. A risk management approach involves identification and assessment of risks followed by elimination of risks in the first instance or where this is not practicable, minimising those risks so far as reasonably practicable.

The risk management approach is important for three main reasons:

• So that the University’s duty of care to its workers, customers, contractors, students, visitors and others thatwork or learn at the University can be met, as part of the legislative health and safety requirements.

• Out of concern for the health and safety of workers, students, contractors, visitors and others at WesternSydney University workplaces.

• It makes good business sense and is cost effective.

A key requirement of managing risks in the workplace is consulting with workers affected by a health and safety matter. Workers should be involved in the hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control processes. Where workers are represented by a Health and Safety Representative (HSR), this HSR must be involved in the consultation process. The legislation also requires that where several PCBUs have duties for a health and safety matter, these PCBUs must consult, cooperate and coordinate their risk management activities to ensure effective management of the health and safety matter.

Workplace hazard identification, assessment and control is an on-going process. It should be undertaken at various times, including:

• If it has not been done before.• When a hazard has been identified• When a change to the workplace may introduce or change a hazard. Such as when changes occur to the work

equipment, practices, procedures or environment.• As part of responding to a workplace incident, even where an injury has not occurred.• Where new information about a risk becomes available or concerns about a risk are raised by workers• At regularly scheduled times appropriate to the workplace.

It is often more effective and easy to eliminate hazards if risk management approaches used at the planning and design stages for products, processes and places for work.

The following procedure for risk management (involving hazard identification, risk assessment and control) is a practical guide for helping make all University workplaces safer for workers, students, contractors, and visitors. It will help both management and workers, through consultation, to comply with the WHS regulations. These regulations require PCBUs to identify, assess and control hazards in the workplace with the aim of eliminating hazards or minimising hazards, do far as reasonably practicable. Recording risk management activities, including risk assessments and consultation processes is required.

These procedures will assist in:

• Finding hazards in University workplaces.• Assessing the risks that may result from these hazards.• Determining control measures to eliminate or minimise the level of the risks.• Monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of control measures.

WHS

3. Definitions

Hazard: Anything (e.g. condition, situation, practice, behaviour) that has the potential to cause harm, including injury, disease, death, environmental, property and equipment damage. A hazard can be a thing or a situation.

Hazard Identification: This is the process of examining each work area and work task for the purpose of identifying all the hazards which are “inherent in the job”. Work areas include but are not limited to machine workshops, laboratories, office areas, agricultural and horticultural environments, stores and transport, maintenance and grounds, reprographics, and lecture theatres and teaching spaces. Tasks can include (but may not be limited to) using screen based equipment, audio and visual equipment, industrial equipment, hazardous substances and/or teaching/dealing with people, driving a vehicle, dealing with emergency situations, construction. This process is about finding what could cause harm in work task or area.

Risk: The likelihood, or possibility, that harm (injury, illness, death, damage etc) may occur from exposure to a hazard. Risk Assessment: Is defined as the process of assessing the risks associated with each of the hazards identified so the nature of the risk can be understood. This includes the nature of the harm that may result from the hazard, the severity of that harm and the likelihood of this occurring. Risk Control: Taking actions to eliminate health and safety risks so far as is reasonably practicable. Where risks cannot be eliminated, then implementation of control measures is required, to minimise risks so far as is reasonably practicable. A hierarchy of controls has been developed and is described below to assist in selection of the most appropriate risk control measure/s. Monitoring and Review: This involves ongoing monitoring of the hazards identified, risks assessed and risk control processes and reviewing them to make sure they are working effectively.

4. Responsibilities

Effective risk management requires the commitment to WHS from managers and Officer as well as the input and involvement of workers.

It is the responsibility of all managers and supervisors to ensure that this policy is fully implemented in their area(s) of control and to consult with workers as part of undertaking the hazard identification, risk assessment and control process. It is the responsibility of workers to cooperate and comply with this policy. This includes providing effective and constructive information and feedback to aid the risk management process.

Officers have a responsibility to ensure that the areas under their control are complying with legislative requirements. This includes the Officer understanding the hazards and risks associated with their operations and ensuring that appropriate resources and processes are in place to eliminate or minimise these risks.

WHS

Page 3

5. Risk Assessment Procedure

The risk assessment procedure can best be illustrated in the following way.

Step 1: Identify Hazards

WHS legislation in New South Wales requires that PCBUs, in consultation with workers identify all potentially hazardous things or situations that may cause harm. In general, hazards are likely to be found in the following;

- Physical work environment, - Equipment, materials or substances used, - Work tasks and how they are performed, - Work design and management

In order to identify hazards the following are recommended:

(i) Past incidents/accidents are examined to see what happened and whether the incident/accident could occur again.

(ii) Employees be consulted to find out what they consider are safety issues, I.e. ask workers about hazards near misses they have encountered as part of their work. Sometimes a survey or questionnaire can assist workers to provide information about workplace hazards. (iii) Work areas or work sites be inspected or examined to find out what is happening now. Identified hazards should be documented to allow further action. The work environment, tool and equipment as well as tasks and procedures should be examined for risks to WHS.

(iv) Information about equipment (e.g. plant, operating instructions) and Material Safety Data Sheets be reviewed to determine relevant safety precautions.

(v) Welcome creative thinking about what could go wrong takes place, i.e. what hazardous event could take place here?

At the University, any hazard which is identified by this process should be recorded on the Risk Assessment and Control Sheet (see Attachment 1 to this document) and further action taken to assess and then control the risks from this hazard.

WHS

Page 4

Step 2: Assess Risks

Risk assessment involves considering the possible results of someone being exposed to a hazard and the likelihood of this occurring. A risk assessment assists in determining:

- How severe a risk is

- Whether existing control measures are effective

- What action should be taken to control a risk

- How urgently action needs to be taken.

A risk assessment should include:

(i) Identify factors that may be contributing to the risk,

(ii) Review health and safety information that is reasonably available from an authoritative source and is

relevant to the particular hazard,

(iii) Evaluation of how severe the harm could be. This includes looking at the types of injuries/illnesses/harm/damage that can result from the hazard, the number of people exposed, possible chain effects from exposure to this hazard.

(iv)Evaluation of how a hazard may cause harm. This includes examining how work is completed, whether existing control measures are in place and whether they control the harm, looking at infrequent/abnormal situations as well as standard operating situations. A chain of events related to a risk may need to be considered.

(v)Determining the likelihood of harm occurring. The level of risk will increase as the likelihood of harm and

its severity increases. The likelihood of harm occurring may be affected by how often the task is completed, in what conditions, how many people are exposed to the hazard and for what duration.

(vi) Identify the actions necessary to eliminate or control the risk; and

(vii) Identify records that it is necessary to keep to ensure that the risks are eliminated or controlled.

Other risk factors should also be identified as they may contribute to the risk: including

(viii)The work premises and the working environment, including their layout and condition,

(ix)The capability, skill, experience and age of people ordinarily undertaking work,

(x) The systems of work being used; and

(xi) The range of reasonably foreseeable conditions.

The process of assessing the risk is undertaken by reviewing any available information about the hazard (e.g. legislation, Australian Standards, Industry Code of Practice or guidance material about the hazard) and by using your personal work experience about what sort harm the hazard could create and how likely this would be to happen. When determining how likely it is that a person could be exposed to a hazard, consideration needs to be given to these “exposure factors”:

(i) Whether there are any other risk factors that increase the likelihood of exposure?

(ii) How often is the person exposed (frequency)?

(iii) or how long is the person exposed (duration)?

(iv) How many people are exposed?

(v) the likely dose to which the person is exposed?

(vi) any legislative or recommended exposure levels required by statutory authorities. WHS

Page 5

At Western Sydney University we require managers and supervisors to identify hazards, assess the risks of harm resulting from exposure to the hazards and set a priority for corrective action by using a clearly laid out process. The process is as follows:

(i) Identified hazards are placed on the Risk Assessment and Control Form. (attachment 1)

(ii) A Risk Category Table (below) is then used to categorise the type of risk to the university Risk Category Table

Risk Category

Description

Academic (Course load/ logistics)

Student load by course and campus, Staff student ratios, teaching loads, admission processes and standards, student progression and retention rates , mode of delivery, changes of student profile and market demands, course and unit coordination capacity and load of academics, levels of administrative and technical support for academic course and unit delivery

Likelihood (L) How Likely are the Consequences?

Certain to Occur Expected to occur in most circumstances Very Likely Will probably occur in most circumstances Possible Might occur occasionally Unlikely Could happen some time

Rare May happen only in exceptional circumstances

Actions Required

Risk Level Rating Required Action Critical

Immediate action needed. Access to the hazard should be restricted until the risk can be lowered to an acceptable level. Short term action may be required to lower the risk level and then medium and long term plans to control the risk to as low as reasonably practicable using the Hierarchy of Controls.

High Action needed quickly (within 1-2 days). The task should not proceed unless the risk is assessed and control options selected based on the Hierarchy of Controls.

Moderate Action required this week to eliminate or minimise the risk using the Hierarchy of Controls. Low Action required within a reasonable timeframe (2-4 weeks) to eliminate or minimise the risk

using the Hierarchy of Controls. Very Low Risk to be eliminated or lowered when possible using the Hierarchy of Controls.

Step 3: Controlling Risks

Once a risk rating is determined, each hazard must have its existing risk control measures evaluated using the Evaluation of Control Effectiveness Table. This allows for determination of any additional requirement necessary.

Evaluation of Control Effectiveness Table

Well Designed Control ? Effectively Implemented ? 3 Needs improvement 3 Deficient (b) 2 Adequate 2 Marginal 1 Strong 1 Effective

WHS

Page 7

Step 4: Implement additional risk controls

Having identified the hazards in your workplace, assessed their risks and reviewed the existing controls, all hazards must be managed before people are hurt, become ill or there is damage to plant, property or the environment.

The management of risks in the workplace requires eliminating risks so far as reasonably practicable in the first instance. Where elimination is not possible, then risks should be minimised, so far as reasonably practicable.

All hazards that have been assessed should be dealt with in order of priority. The most effective control option/s should be selected to eliminate or minimise risks. The Hierarchy of Controls (see diagram below) ranks control options from highest level of protection and reliability to lowest. This should be used to determine the most effective control/s.

Hierarchy of Controls

Level 1 Control Measures – Eliminate the Hazard The most effective control measures eliminate the hazard and associated risks. This can be achieved through removing the hazard or selecting alternate products or equipment to eliminate the risk. If a hazard cannot be eliminated then risks can be minimised by lower control measures Level 2 Control Measures These are used to minimise the risks and involve on or a combination of the following;

(i) Substitute the hazard: substitute a substance, method or material to reduce the risk or the hazard

(ii) Isolate the hazard: separate the hazard from the workplace or people, For example; a. Chemical store room, or a laboratory kept locked except to an

authorised person. b. Lock out procedures on faulty equipment. c. Appropriate guarding for machinery.

WHS

Page 8

(iii) Use engineering controls: modify existing machinery or plant or purchase different machinery or plant to provide a physical solution. For example; a. Trolleys, hoists or cranes. b. Guard rails.

Level 3 Control Measures

These are control options which should be considered last as they do not control the source of the hazard but rely on human behaviour or supervision and are therefore less effective. They include;

(iv) Administrative Procedures: develop work methods or procedures to reduce the conditions of risk, for example: a. Written Safe Operating Procedures b. Job rotation to restrict hours worked on difficult jobs. c. Staff trained in the correct operating procedures.

(v) Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and training in its use: offer the lowest level of protection and should only be used as a last resort to deal with the hazard, where the hazard cannot be removed or reduced by any other means, for example: a. Handling of chemicals – gloves, safety glasses, aprons. b. Protecting eyes from flying particles. c. Protecting feet – safety boots.

Consultation with workers is required in the selection and implementation of control measure in the workplace. Controls may need to be trialled to determine effectiveness and workers should be involved in the feedback process.

Each measure must have a designated person and date assigned for the implementation of controls. This ensures that all required safety measures will be completed and documented.

Step 5: Monitor and Review

Hazard identification, risk assessment and control is an on-going process. Therefore, regularly review the effectiveness of your hazard assessment and control measures. Make sure that you undertake a hazard and risk assessment when there is a change to the workplace including when work systems, tools, machinery or equipment change. Provide additional supervision when new employees with reduced skill levels or knowledge are introduced to the workplace. The effectiveness of control measures can be checked through regular reviews as well as consultation with workers.

Maintaining records of the risk management process assists when undertaking subsequent reviews or risk assessments as it demonstrates decision making processes and informs how controls were intended to be implemented.

VentilationProvide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposureguidelines.

7.2 STORAGE

STABILITY - Monoethanolamine and iron form a complex molecule, trisethanolamino-iron. Thismaterial can spontaneously decompose at temperatures between 130° and 160°C, and has



been suspected of causing a fire in a nearly empty storage tank containing a ’heel’ of MEA incontact with carbon steel steam coils. If steam coil heating is used, low pressure steam instainless steel coils is preferred. Since this same mechanism may occur in drums, take carewhen thawing drummed MEA with heating coils and maintain temperature below 130°C.

DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITYIn a developmental study with rats reported in literature, doses of up to 450 mg/kg wereadministered by gavage. Significant reductions in food consumption and body weight wereobserved in the 450 mg/kg group. The NOEL was 120 mg/kg/day for maternal toxicity andgreater than 450 mg/kg/day for embryofetal toxicity and teratogenicity. No increases inmalformation rate or growth retardation were observed in fetuses or pups, indicating that MEAwas not embryotoxic or teratogenic in the rat following gavage exposure., In a cutaneous studywith rats, doses of up to 225 mg/kg were administered. Severe skin irritation or lesions and asignificant decrease in body weight gain were observed at 225 mg/kg/day. The NOEL was75/mg/kg/day for maternal toxicity and greater than 225 mg/kg/day for embryofetal toxicity andteratogenicity. A study with rabbits had similar results. The NOEL was 25 mg/kg/day formaternal toxicity and greater than 75 mg/kg/day for embryofetal toxicity and teratogenicity.



GENETIC TOXICOLOGY

In VitroThis material was not genotoxic in various mutagenicity and clastogenicity tests.

In VivoThis material was not genotoxic in various mutagenicity and clastogenicity tests.

PHARMACOKINETICS AND METABOLISM

In VivoAs reported in the literature, the fate of ethanolamine-1, 2-C14 in the intact rat, tissue slices, andhomogenates resulted in 54% of the dose in the liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, brain, anddiaphram and 11.5% as CO2, 8 hr after intraperitoneal administration. The liver was the mostactive tissue followed by the heart and brain. MEA is incorporated into the liverphosphatidylethanolamines via phosphorylethanolamine and CDP-ethanolamine (cytidine-5’-diphosphoethanolamine).

SIGNIFICANT DATA WITH POSSIBLE RELEVANCE TO HUMANS Inhalation studies of monoethanolamine (MEA) in laboratory animals produced effects whichsuggest possible injury to the nervous system. A laboratory study suggests that rats given highdoses of MEA by gavage produced increased embryofetal death, growth retardation and somemalformations (hydronephrosis/hydroureter). Due to the high doses used and other technicaldeficiencies, the validity of this study is somewhat questionable. There is evidence that noembryofetotoxicity or teratogenicity was produced in rats or rabbits when MEA was administeredby skin contact, a more relevant route of potential human exposure.

Anhydrous Ammonia is an irritating, flammable, and colorless liquefied compressed gas pack aged in cylinders under its own vapor pressure of 114 psig at 70 °F. Ammonia can cause severe eye, skin and respiratory tract burns. It poses an immediate fire and explosion hazard when concentrations exceed 15%; therefore, area must be ventilated before entering. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) when entering release area if concentrations exceed allowable exposure limits. Fully protective suits are required in large releases. Always be aware of fire and explosion potential in the case o f large releases.

EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBERS(800) 523-9374 Continental U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico(610) 481-7711 other locations

ACUTE POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:EYE CONTACT: Exposure to Ammonia can cause moderate to severe eye irritation.INGESTION: Ingestion is not a likely route of exposure for Ammonia.INHALATION: Ammonia is severely irritating to nose, throat, and lungs. Symptoms may include burning sensations, coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, headache and na usea. Overexposure may also cause central nervous system effects including unconsciousness and convulsions. Upper airway damage is more likely and can result in bronchospasm (closing of the airway). Vocal chords are particularly vulnerable to corrosive effects of high concentrations. Lower airway damage may result in fluid build up and hemorrhage. Death has occurred following a 5 minute exposure to 5000 ppm.


SKIN CONTACT: Vapor contact may cause irritation and burns. Contact with liquid may cause freezing of the tissue accompanied by corrosive caustic action and dehydration.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS OF REPEATED EXPOSURE:ROUTE OF ENTRY: Inhalation, eye or skin contactSYMPTOMS: Repeated or prolonged skin exposure may cause dermatitis.

TARGET ORGANS: Eyes, skin, central nervous and respiratory systems.MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY OVEREXPOSURE: Conditions generally aggravated by exposure include asthma, chronic respiratory disease (e.g., emphysema), dermatitis and eye disease.CARCINOGENICITY: Ammonia is not listed as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by NTP, IARC, or OSHA.

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with large quantities of water. Seek medical attention immediately. INGESTION: Ingestion is not a likely route of exposure for Ammonia.INHALATION: Remove person to fresh air. If not breathing, administer artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. Obtain prompt medical attention. SKIN CONTACT: Flush affected area with large q uantities of water. Remove contaminated clothing immediately. If liquid comes in contact with skin, remove contaminated clothing and flush with plenty of lukewarm water for several minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Bronchospasm may be treated with the use of a bronchodialator such as albuterol and an anticholinergic inhalant such as Atrovent.

SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

FLASH POINT: AUTOIGNITION: FLAMMABLE RANGE:Not applicable 1204 °F (651 °C) 16% - 25%

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide or water.SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Evacuate all personnel from area. If possible without risk, stop the flow of Ammonia, then fight fire according to types of materials that are burning. Extinguish fire only if gas flow can be stopped. This will avoid possible accumulation and re -ignition of a flammable gas mixture. If possible, move adjacent cylinders away from fire area. Keep adjacent cylinders cool by spraying with large amounts of water un til the fire burns itself out. Self -contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) may be required.

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Most cylinders are designed to vent contents when exposed to elevated temperatures. Pressure in a cylinder can build up due to heat and it may rupture if pressure relief devices should fail to function. Runoff from firefighting may be contaminated; check pH. Ammonia can form explosive compounds when combined with mercury.HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Oxides of nitrogen

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Evacuate immediate area. Eliminate any possible sources of ignition, and provide maximum explosion -proof ventilation. Shut off source of leak if possible. Isolate any leaking cylinder. If leak is from container, pressure relief device or its valve, contact your supplier. If the leak is in the user’s system, close the cylinder valve, safely vent the pressure, and purge with an inert gas before attempting repairs. Ammonia vapors can be controlled with water spray, however; runoff may be contaminated. Releases that exceed 100 lbs (45.4 kgs) during a 24 -hour period must be reported. (See Section 15).

All responders must be adequately protected from exposure. Levels of Ammonia should be below levels listed in Section 2 (Composition / Information on Ingredients) and the atmosphere must have at least 19.5% oxygen before personnel can be allowed in the area without self -contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).


SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

STORAGE: Store cylinders in a well-ventilated, secure area, protected from the weather. Cylinders should be stored upright with valve outlet seals and valve protection caps in place. There should be no sources of ignition. All electrical equipment should be explosion -proof in the storage areas. Storage areas must meet National Electrical Codes for class 1 hazardous areas. Flammable storage areas should be separated from oxygen and other oxidizers by a minimum distanc e of 20 ft. or by a barrier of non -combustible material at least 5 ft. high having a fire resistance rating of at least ½ hour. Ammonia cylinders should not be stored near acids or acid -forming gases. Post “No Smoking or Open Flames” signs in the storage or use areas. Do not allow storage temperature to exceed 125 °F (52 °C). Storage should be away from heavily traveled areas and emergency exits. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a first -in first-out inventory system to prevent full c ontainers from being stored for long periods of time.

Caution: Ammonia cylinders are subject to theft and misuse. Cylinders should be stored and used in controlled areas.

HANDLING: Do not drag, roll, slide or drop cylinder. Use a suitable hand truck designed for cylinder movement. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its cap. Secure cylinders at all times while in use. Use a pressure reducing regulator or separate control valve to safely discharge gas from cylinder. Use a check valve to prevent reverse flow into cylinder. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the cylinder. Do not allow any part of the cylinder to exceed 125 °F (52 °C). Once cylinder has been connected to properly purged and inerted process, open cylinder valve slowly and carefully. If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve, discontinue use and contact supplier. Never insert an object (e.g., wrench, screwdriver, etc.) into valve cap openings. Doing so may damage valve causing a leak to occur. Use an adjustable strap-wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. All piped systems and associated equipment must be grounded. Electrical equipment should be non -sparking or explosion-proof.

Only a recommended CGA connection should be used. Adapters should not be used. Use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand pressures to be encountered. If liquid product is being used, ensure steps have been taken to prevent entrapment of liquid in closed systems. The use of pressure relief devices may be necessary. Dedicated inert gas cylinders with in line back -flow protection should be used for purging.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: Always store and handle compressed gases in accordance with Compressed Gas Association, Inc. (ph.703-979-0900) pamphlet CGA P-1, Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers. Local regulations may require specific equipment for storage or use.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:VENTILATION: Provide adequate natural or mechanical ventilation to maintain Ammonia concentrations below exposure limits.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:Emergency Use: Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or positive pressure airline with full face mask with escape pack should be worn in areas of a large release or unknown concentration.

EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses for handling cylinders. Chemical goggles with full faceshield for connecting, disconnecting or opening cylinders.

SKIN PROTECTION: Leather gloves for handling cylinders. Rubber or Neoprene gloves, and chemical resistant outergarment should be worn when connecting or disconnecting cylinders. Total encapsulating chemical suit may be necessary in large release area. Fire resistant suit and gloves in emergency situations.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Safety shoes are recommended when handling cylinders. Safety shower and eyewash fountain should be readily available.

Abstract. Parameters for defining hazard level of possible grinding tool breakage arespecified in this paper. Appropriate mathematical model to reveal this hazard isdescribed. Reliability of this model has been analyzed on example related to grindingtool fracture of standard workshop grinder.

Key words: risk of hazard, rate of safety, and grinding tool

1. INTRODUCTION

The mechanical wound hazard comes from the machine moving parts, which areunguarded and accessible for the attendant's parts of body at cleaning, lubrication or someother operator's activity. These hazards are specially expressed while bursting of parts ofmaterial which is treated at the grinding tool breakage. Bursting parts have relatively highkinetic energy, and they can cause injuries of operators and other persons who are present inendangered area.

However, if machine has built-in safety devices, it absolutely does not mean that operatoris not endangered during its attendance. This is especially expressed in the use of thegrinding tool, which presents major hazard for the attendants at its breakage.

There are no objective criteria for the evaluation of risk, for the machine attendants.Because of these reasons, here is given a mathematical model of risk of hazard determination,i.e., evaluation of applicable measures of the grinding wheel mechanical safety, [1,3].

2. PARAMETERS FOR DETERMINING RATE OF HAZARD

At the treatment by grinding, the main hazard for the operator is possibility of suddenbreakage and bursting of the broken parts of the (grinding wheel) tool. The grinding

wheel breakage and bursting can rarely happen. However, it is necessary to emphasizethat consequences in the case of the grinding tool breakage are very unfavourable, bothfor the attendant safety and for the machine- grinder damage. Because of relatively highcircumferential velocity and considerable weight of a broken part of the grinding wheel,the centrifugal force is appeared which is destructive for the protective guard. The brokenparts go through the protective guard and they can injure the operator, fig. 1.

Fig. 1. The grinding tool breakage hazard

The grinding tool have nonhomogenous composition and it is very brittle, so that itsbreakage can happen, because of:

- excessive pressure or impact,- too high circumferential velocity,- irregular assembling,- faulty technological selection and similar.Faulty technological selection of the grinding wheel implies, that for grinding of working

piece of high hardness, the "hard" grinding wheel is used. At grinding the materials ofrelatively high hardness, because of fast wear of cutting edges, the grinding wheel has lesssteadiness, at which "hard" grinding wheel becomes smoothed and the effect of grinding isdecreased. If we want to increase the effect of grinding, it is necessary to provide higherpressure between the grinding wheel and the working piece. The mechanical loading isincreased, and this is one of reasons for the grinding wheel breakage.

In the procedure of proper grinding of the working pieces consisted of hard material, itis necessary to use "soft" grinding wheel, and "hard" grinding wheel for softer metals, [1].

For evaluation of the rate of hazard, of possible grinding wheel breakage, the mostimportant factors are:

- centrifugal force, and- angle of safety guard opening around the grinding wheel.Centrifugal force, which originates at the moment of the grinding wheel breakage, is

defined by the expression:

32

1 10⋅⋅=c

cc x

VmF (1)

where are:

The Risk Related to Grinding Tool Fracture 25

m1 - mass of broken piece of the grinding wheel, in [kg],Vc - circumferential velocity of the grinding wheel, reduced in the center of a broken

piece, in [m/s],xc - the center of gravity of a broken piece of the grinding wheel, in [mm].

In order to prevent the uncontrolled bursting of pieces of the grinding wheel due to itsbreakage, the grinders must have the built-in safety guard. However, technological andexploitation reasons, are dictating the size and angle of the grinding wheel protectiveopening. Those sizes are mostly standardized, and they amount 60o; 90o, 120o and 180o.

In case that the grinding wheel does not have the safety guard, it can be supposed thatit will be broken into two parts. This is the most unfavourable case for the attendant,because the hazard is the highest then. However, if there is safety guard built-in round, thehazard for the operators will be less in case of breakage. There is no uncontrolled burstingof the grinding wheel parts in this case, but hazard should be expected from the directionof the safety guard opening.

For determination of the centrifugal force of the largest broken part of the grindingwheel, which passes through the safety guard opening, it is necessary for us to know itsweight, velocity and center of gravity from the axis of rotation.

The weight in the center of gravity of the broken piece of the grinding wheel can bedetermined according to circumferential velocity in the moment of breakage of thegrinding wheel (Vw ) and diameter of the grinding wheel (D):

DxVV c

wc ⋅⋅= 2 (2)

where are: xc- center of gravity of the broken part of the grinding wheel, in [mm],D - outside diameter of the grinding wheel, in [mm],Vw - circumferential velocity in the moment of the grinding wheel breakage, in [m/s].

The center of gravity of the broken piece of the grinding wheel can be approximatelydetermined on the base of center of gravity of the segment of annulus. This center ofgravity is defined as:

−ψ−ψ⋅

where are: d - inside section of the grinding wheel, in [mm],ψ - the ratio between inside and outside section of the grinding wheel,α - the angle of the safety guard grinding wheel opening.

By substitution of the expression (2) and (3) in the expression (1), the derivedformula of the centrifugal force is obtained:

3. THE RISK OF HAZARD OF THE GRINDING TOOL BREAKAGE

Safety of operators, and their endangerment during machine attendance, are twodifferent occurrences. According to probability of origin, these occurrences are opposite,so the origin of one is excluding the occurrence of the other. On the base of thisexclusivity, it can be accepted that rate of safety (prevention) and rate of endangerment(hazard), are presenting two probabilities of occurrences, which sum is equal to unit.

For determination of the risk of hazard, of the grinding tool breakage it is necessary tobe acquainted with the centrifugal force of the broken piece of the grinding wheel and theangle of the safety guard opening round the grinding wheel. Taking into consideration,that hazard occurrence (that is the risk (Rh), and the safety occurrences (So), are twoindependent occurrences (Rh + So) = 1, and their relation can be defined, according to thefollowing mathematical model:

kih aR

2111

⋅+−= (5)

where are: a - parameter which express the basic characteristic of hazard,i - the hazard intensity,k - the range of hazard effect.

The risk of hazard (Rh) depending on influence parameters (a,i,k), can vary in therange of zero to one, Rh ∈ (0 ÷1).

For the hazard risk analyzing, and for determining the safety rate, two cases can beobserved:

In the first case, if limit value:

121

1 lim0

→⋅+→ kia a

(6)

gravitates towards number one, according to the expression (5) the risk of hazard tends tozero (Rh → 0). In this theoretical case, the risk of hazard is minimal, while the safety rate ismaximal (So → 1). This means that safety rate can be observed according to the expression:

So = kia 211

⋅+(7)

In the second case, if limit value:

021

1lim →⋅+→∞ kia a

(8)

gravitates towards zero, than according to the expression (5) the risk of hazard tends tothe maximal value (Rh → 1), while the safety rate is minimal (So → 0).

In dependence of grinding wheel circumferential velocity, the angle of the safetyguard opening and the centrifugal force of the broken piece of the grinding wheel, theparameters (a), (i), and (k) are defined, and they are important for determination the rateof hazard, by the given mathematical model (5).

The parameter (a) expresses the basic characteristic of hazard and in this case itrepresents the relation between circumferential velocity at the moment of breakage (Vw)and admissible velocity of the grinding wheel (Vg ), this is a = Vw / Vg < 1.

The parameter (i) defines the intensity of hazard, and in this case it presents the


relation between the safeguarded (As) and unguarded (Au) part of the grinding wheel, thatis i = As / Au. This parameter, in a theoretical case, is ranging in limits from zero toinfinity, if the grinding wheel is unguarded (As = 0; Au = 1) the intensity of hazard is zero(i=0). If the grinding wheel is completely safeguarded (completely guarded Au = 1; Au = 0)the intensity of hazard is infinite (i → ∞). In the practice, this parameter is rangingbetween these two theoretical extreme values (i = 1, for angle α = 1800; i = 5, for theangle α = 600; As = R2 (π − α), Au = R2(α/2).

The parameter (k) defines the range of hazard effect. In regard of realizing ofpossible hazards of grinding tool breakage, this parameter presents in which space anddistance from grinder, a risk of operator's injuring is possible. For example, there is a riskof grinding wheel hazard in the distance of 5 meters.

According to the adopted range of the hazard effect (k) and the hazard intensity (i), therisk of hazard (Rh) is estimated, and its values are given in the tables below (1, 2) and inthe constructed diagrams (figs. 2, 3).

Table 1. Values of the risk of hazard (for intensity of adopted safety, i = 1)

From the diagram (fig. 2) can be seen, that for the range of hazard effect (k = 0) andthe basic characteristic of hazard (a = 1), the limit value of the risk of hazard is Rh = 0,5.

Ž. JANKOVIĆ28

The adopted rate of safety also has the value (So = 0,5). This is the case when we do notknow the final result. So, if basic characteristic of hazard is known (a) and also the rangeof hazard effect (k), the risk of hazard can be estimated very easily.

4. CONCLUSION

According to analysis given in this work, we can state following:- Determination of the risk of hazard is related only to hazards created as a result of

unsatisfactory mechanical safety, of those parts of machine, which can cause theoperator's injuring.

- Suggested mathematical model for determination the of hazard risk, is tested on asample on the grinding wheel breakage and bursting of a workshop grinder. Forthis case the risk of hazard mostly depends on circumferential velocity whichcauses the grinding wheel breakage, and on the originating centrifugal force of thebroken piece of the grinding wheel.

- Evaluation of the risk of the grinding tool breakage, is that, because by thesuggested mathematical model the risk of hazard injuring can be determined, andalso the objective estimate about applied measures of the mechanical safety at theworkshop grinder is given.
