Findings on the current assessment

from A-1074 · methodology v4.0
Fixed guard missingR-GM-01Immediate dangerfrom photoS5 × L4 = 20

A fixed guard is absent and the hazard it covered is reachable during normal operation.

Action Stop the machine and lock it out until the guard is refitted with tools-required fixings.

Entanglement or crushing at moving parts · due 2025-11-28 · AS 4024.1601 §5.2

Guard aperture exceeds safe gapR-GM-05Non-conformingS4 × L3 = 12

A gap in the guarding allows a hand to reach the hazard at the measured distance.

Action Close the aperture or move the guard back until the safe-distance table is satisfied.

Entanglement or crushing at moving parts · due 2025-12-12 · ISO 13857 §4.2

Spillage or accumulation around the machineR-GM-15Observationfrom photoS2 × L4 = 8

Accumulated product or spillage is a slip hazard and hides developing faults.

Action Clean down and add the area to the shift housekeeping round.

Access, egress and emergency response impaired · due 2025-12-12 · ISO 12100 §6.2.7

Walkway alongside the machine too narrowR-GM-14Improvement opportunityS2 × L3 = 6

The walkway beside the machine is narrower than the methodology allows.

Action Widen or re-route the walkway, or barrier it off if the width cannot be achieved.

Access, egress and emergency response impaired · due 2026-01-27 · ISO 14122-2 §4.2

Leak or product loss at the machineR-GM-17Observationfrom photoS2 × L3 = 6

Fluid loss is visible at a gland, gearbox or hydraulic joint.

Action Repair the leak and clean the area so the next assessment can distinguish new loss from old.

Loss of containment to environment · due 2025-12-28 · ISO 12100 §6.2.7

Hazard or isolation signage missingR-GM-13Improvement opportunityS1 × L4 = 4

The machine carries no hazard or isolation signage.

Action Fit signage at each access point covering the hazard and the isolation requirement.

Loss of design or inspection traceability · due 2026-02-26 · ISO 7010
