What is BS EN 1034-26 - Safety for paper roll packaging machines about?
Operating machines safely is clearly vital. The paper machine and associated operations are hazardous due to their basic nature of high speed and pressure in-running rolls, elevated temperatures, wet and slippery conditions, and limited visibility areas, so on. Therefore, there is a need for safety requirements while operating and constructing paper machines.
BS EN 1034 series specifies safety requirements for the design and construction of paper making and finishing machines. BS EN 1034-26 focuses on safety requirements for roll packaging machines.
BS EN 1034-26 applies to roll packaging machines for use in papermaking and applies together with BS EN 1034-1. BS EN 1034-26 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazard events relevant to roll packaging machines, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturers.
Note: BS EN 1034-26 is not applicable to roll packaging machines which are manufactured before the date of publication as an EN.

Why should you use BS EN 1034-26 - Safety for paper roll packaging machines?
Safeguards are essential to protect workers from injury. There are many types of dangers associated with paper making and converting facilities. Hazards related to roll packaging machines include fire, paper, leakage of hydraulic and lubrication oil, material of electrical equipment discomfort, stress, overload, blinding, falling, stress, crushing, malfunction in control system etc. BS EN 1034-26 guide you to create a safe, healthy work environment, in a paper manufacturing facility.
BS EN 1034-26 provides you with all necessary safety requirements and measures for paper machines. You need to comply with the safety requirements and measures for safe use of paper machines. When carrying out the risk assessment, the machine designer must check whether the list of hazards in BS EN 1034-26 is complete and applicable with respect to his machine.
BS EN 1034-26 provides you with principles of a roll packaging machine with a traversing unwind for spiral winding of the packaging material web. BS EN 1034-26 gives examples of a roll packaging machine with four wrapping paper unwinds.
BS EN 1034-26 guidelines help you to ensure safety and protection from hazardous situations when operating paper roll packaging machines. Following guidelines, users will be able to use paper machines safely without any harm.
