1.1 Risk Assessment

Risk Assessments are a legal obligation and an important step in protecting your personnel,

visitors as well as your business. It helps you focus on the risks that really matter in your

workplace, the ones with the potential to cause real harm. In many instances, straightforward

measures can readily reduce risks. These measures should be reviewed annually or when the

process changes, whichever comes first. The law does not expect you to eliminate all risk but

measures must be taken to reduce the risk as far as ‘reasonably practicable’.

For most, that means simple, cheap and effective measures to ensure your most valuable asset

– your workforce – is protected.

1.2 General

M²erlin is manufactured to the latest engineering standards and acknowledged safety

regulations. Nevertheless, dangers can arise through its operation;

•Danger to life and limb of the operator or third parties.

•Damages to the machine and other material assets.

Following instructions within this manual will prevent / minimise risk
