Alternative fuels are prone to self-oxidation and at the same time fire incidents have been proved very hard to extin-
guish. Therefore, it is of great importance, that storage facilities are equipped with reliable and well-designed early
detection and effective fire suppression systems based on a comprehensive fire protection study.
Ergonomia’s experienced engineers can provide consulting services for inherently-safe design of new alternative fuel
installations and assess existing installations for their suitability to handle alternative fuels, based on material char-
acteristics, such as granulometry, calorific value, moisture and ash content, after observation and evaluation of the
actual handling process on site and/or laboratory analysis. A thorough explosion risk assessment, that covers every
step of the process, will result in certain technical solutions and organizational measures, proposed to effectively
address identified hazards and help the facility make a safe transition to the alternative energy era.
Machinery Safety
M achinery can cause injuries or even deaths in many ways such as severing or puncturing by sharp
edges, crushing between moving parts, drawing in by rollers, belts and pulley drives etc.
Risk prioritization following a comprehensive machinery safety audit and risk assessment, as per interna-
tional standards (e.g. ISO 12100), can help management make decisions regarding suitable machine guard-
ing, interlocks and their required performance levels (PLr) as per ISO 13849-1. In addition, organizational
measures can be suggested to effectively handle residual risks.
The Machinery Safety Certified Engineers of Ergonomia’s multidisciplinary industrial safety department
have the necessary knowledge and expertise to identify and assess all risks and propose feasible technical
solutions, that will effectively protect operators without hindering their task and therefore avoiding inter-
lock by-passing
