Assessment of Risk Caused by Equipment

Dangerous injuries with permanent consequences (death) 

Exposure frequently reappearing (hands affected in the working cycle) 

Frequent or constant exposure (manual activity, e.g. tool replacement) 

Probability of dangerous situation occurrence (connected to the equipment factor) 

Low (lack of dangerous elements, reliable, practical and safe protective equipment, safe switch-off) Medium (complete protective equipment, in good conditions yet impractical, so many activities done with no protective equipment)
