Coversshrouds are classified as primary guarding devices designed to reduce the risk of inadvertent contact with controls and the risk of entrapmentcrushing accidents caused by the sustained involuntary operation of the machine controls resulting from the operator being pushed onto the controls by an obstruction

The fitting of any additional device intended to further reduce the risk of

entrapment and or provide an alert that an entrapment situation has occurred

cannot replace the operatorrsquos responsibility to be aware of their surroundings

and the need to follow safe working practice and protocols but must be in
