Periodic Checkout Procedures
6.5 Semi-Annual Checkout
Perform this checkout procedure every six months
following System installation. A Qualified Person (as defined
in the Safety Glossary) must perform the procedure; checkout
results should be recorded and kept on or near the guarded
machine, per OSHA 1910.217(e)(1).
1. Perform the commissioning checkout procedure
(Section 6.3).
If any decrease in machine braking ability has occurred,
make the necessary clutch/brake repairs, readjust separation
distance (Ds) appropriately, record the new Ds calculation on
page 57 and/or on the Daily Checkout Procedure card, and
re-perform the Daily Checkout procedure.
2. Examine and test the machine primary control elements
(MPCEs) and any intermediary controls (such as interface
modules) to verify that they are functioning correctly and are
not in need of maintenance or replacement.
3. Inspect the guarded machine to verify that no other
mechanical or structural problems could prevent the machine
from stopping or assuming an otherwise safe condition when
signalled to do so by the EZ-SCREEN System.
4. Examine and inspect the machine controls and connections
to the EZ-SCREEN System to verify that no modifications
have been made which adversely affect the System.
