8.1.6 Other safety-related issues
8.1.6.1 Information sheets issued by the Employer's Liability Insurance Association
Safety-related measures to be implemented cannot always be derived from directives,
standards, or regulations. In this case, supplementary information and explanations are
required.
Some regulatory bodies issue publications on an extremely wide range of subjects.
Information sheets covering the following areas are available, for example:
● Process monitoring in production environments
● Axes subject to gravitational force
● Roller pressing machines
● Lathes and turning centers - purchasing/selling
These information sheets issued by specialist committees can be obtained by all interested
parties (e.g. to provide support in factories, or when regulations or safety-related measures
for plants and machines are defined). These information sheets provide support for the fields
of machinery construction, production systems, and steel construction.
You can download the information sheets from the following Internet address (website is in
German, although some of the sheets are available in English):
http://www.bg-metall.de/
First select the menu item "Service and Contact", then the Link "Downloads" and finally the
category "Information sheets of the specialist committees".
