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 the Daily Checkout Procedure card and/or on page
55, 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 Grid
System.
4)
Examine and inspect the machine controls and connections to the EZ-
SCREEN Grid System to verify that no modifications have been made which
adversely affect the System.
