- Residual risk per hazard
- Safeguards linked to safety functions
- Register exports to the technical file
How you do it in MSA
5 steps
- 1
Create the project
Name the machine, set the applicable standards and assign an owner.
- 2
Define machine limits
Record use, space, time limits and operating modes.
- 3
Identify hazards
Add hazards per zone and life-cycle phase, or import them.
- 4
Score the risk
Estimate severity, exposure, probability and avoidance for each hazard.
- 5
Apply the 3-step method
Record inherent design, safeguarding and information for use, then re-score.
