Hello Experts, As you are probably aware, the Machinery Regulation has a new criterion related to emergency rescue...
EHSR 1.6.2, paragraph 2 - "In the case of machinery or related products into which persons shall enter for operation, adjustment, maintenance or cleaning, the machinery accesses shall be dimensioned and adapted for the use of rescue equipment in such a way that an emergency rescue of the persons is possible." I am wondering how this will tend to be interpreted. Any input would be welcome. I expect the Commission will provide some guidance but am not sure of their intended publication schedule. Is there already a machinery standard published, or other fairly authoritative guidance, that would illuminate the details? Is there a standard set of rescue equipment that should be anticipated - such as minimum space for a rescue stretcher? Of course, this seems to be close in concept to US EPA confined space concerns, but I am not yet certain it should be understood with that level of detail.
