Radialbohrmaschine risks

Posted by audreytaylor on July 17th, 2013

A radialbohrmaschine is a large machine used for cutting a target material. Unlike drills used manually, such machine needs to be operated by specialists, because it presents some hazards that can harm an untrained person.

And one of the first risks featured by a radialbohrmaschine is the risk of electrocution. A radial drilling machine may use a lot of principles to work, electric principles, hydraulic, mechanical, but the one that carries the most hazards is the electric one.

Radiale drilling presses work via an electric charge, therefore they have to be verified from time to time, for the workers to make sure they use only safe equipment, and they will not suffer from electrocution. If the drill presents frayed cords, it could harm a worker.

Everything needs to be controlled when it comes to a radiale drilling machine, because a little problem can transform into a serious one, if left unattended. Imagine an improperly wired electric drill press; the electric current flowing through it could start a fire and injure workers.

That is why workers operating drilling machines wear a specific outfit, meant to protect them against electrocution and fire. Still, this does not mean that anyone could use a drilling machine, simply by putting on a certain garment.

To handle such gear, you need proper training. And not even that can save you from some professional diseases that may occur during a long period of handling such machine. For a drilling machine to stop presenting the risk of professional diseases, it has to be cleaned regularly.

Heavy machines are rarely cleaned, especially when they are almost always connected to a power outlet. But this is the cause for diseases like tetanus, produced by a Gram-positive bacterium that enters the human body via a puncture.

So drilling machines need to be cleaned in order to prevent the spreading of such diseases. Work inspectors may verify the sanitation at the workplace, but they will never get the exact number of pathogens crawling on the equipment used by workers.

Finally, the last hazard that can produce irreparable damages to a worker handling a drilling machine is the innocent puncture, that was mentioned earlier too. Not only is this hazard prone to lead to complicated health issues, but it can also work in combination with an electric risk.

Specialists have determined that a little puncture, that may not even get observed, can lead to a better electric conductivity of the body, which can increase the risk of electrocution. Therefore, workers are required to protect their skin with proper equipment.

The risks of handling a radial drilling machine can get much lower, if the personnel gets trained in every way to know exactly what to do in case the unexpected happens, and if the equipment itself is verified on a regular basis for a maximum safety.
