Hazards caused by noise

■ Excessive noise levels in conjunction with insuf-
ficient hearing protection may lead to perma-
nent hearing damage, hearing loss and other
problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing,
whistling or humming in your ears). It is essential
that a risk assessment is carried out with respect
to these risks and that appropriate regulatory
mechanisms are implemented.
■ Suitable regulatory mechanisms include
measures such as the use of insulation materials
to avoid ringing noise occurring on the work-
pieces.
■ Use ear muffs as per the instructions provided
by your employer or as required by health and
safety regulations.
■ The pressing machine must be operated and
maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in this manual in order to
avoid an unnecessary increase in the noise
level.
■ Consumables/machine tools should be selected,
maintained and replaced in accordance with
the recommendations in this guide in order to
avoid unnecessary increase of the noise levels.
■ If the machine is equipped with a silencer,
always ensure that it is fitted and that it is opera-
tional while the machine is in operation.

Hazards caused by vibrations

■ Vibrations can damage the nerves and cause
malfunctions to the blood circulation in the
hands and arms.
■ When working in a cold environment, wear
warm clothing and keep your hands warm and
dry.
■ If you notice numbness, tingling or pain in your
fingers or hands, or if the skin on your fingers or
hands turns white, stop using the machine and
inform your employer. You should also consult
an appropriately qualified physician.
