Why this product was flagged
Recorded hazard
The AK510K mobile shredder has unguarded in-running nips - at the base of the conveyor and on the band magnet - that present a risk of entanglement to personnel in areas where access is foreseeable. It does not meet essential health and safety requirement (EHSR) 1.3.7 of Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (implemented in the UK by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008). This requires that the moving parts of machinery be designed and constructed in such a way as to prevent risks of contact which could lead to accidents or must, where risks persist, be fitted with guards or protective devices.
What the notice records
Corrective action
The GB distributor contacted their customers to inform them that the AK 510K mobile shredder has unguarded moving parts that present a risk of entanglement. They also advised AK 510K customers to assess the adequacy of on-site control measures to comply with their duties under health and safety legislation.
