2-8-2 Safety Circuit Standards

Safety circuits used in industrial systems protect the operator and maintenance personnel from dangerous energy. They also provide a means of locking out or isolating the energy for servicing equipment.

Various agencies have contributed to the establishment of safety standards that apply to the design and the manufacture of automated equipment. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Joint Industrial Council (JIC) are just a few of the organizations that have joined with the plastics industry to develop safety standards.

Every effort has been made to incorporate these standards into the design of the SGB blending system; however, it is the responsibility of the personnel operating and maintaining the equipment to familiarize themselves with the safety procedures and the proper use of any safety devices.

2-8-3 Fail Safe Operation

If a safety device or circuit should fail, the design must be such that the failure causes a “Safe” condition. As an example, a safety switch must be a normally open switch. The switch must be held closed with the device it is to protect. If the switch fails, it will go to the open condition, tripping out the safety circuit.

At no time should the safety device fail and allow the operation to continue. For example, if a safety switch is guarding a motor, and the safety switch fails, the motor should not be able to run.

2-8-4 Safety Device Lock-Outs

Some safety devices disconnect electrical energy from a circuit. The safety devices that are utilized on Sterling SGB models are primarily concerned with the pneumatics and electrical power disconnection, and the disabling of moving parts that may need to be accessed during the
