Safety checks on POLAR cutting machines and plants: POLAR's concept for safety checks on high-speed cutters has been offered by POLAR for some time now. In most countries, machine operators are required by law to comply with certain safety standards. The operating company has to guarantee that the necessary checks are carried out throughout the entire life cycle of the machines. The safety check has to be carried out by a qualified inspector. Designated time intervals must be adapted to the appropriate machine and a corresponding test certificate issued. POLAR developed a special safety concept as early as the beginning of the 1970s, working closely with the German Employers' Liability Insurance Association. It describes the systematic inspection of safety-relevant equipment on POLAR high-speed cutters and is regularly adapted to new European directives. The names of qualified inspectors can be found on the POLAR homepage under Services/Customer Services/Safety Inspection. On specific test points, POLAR uses test equipment developed in-house. A successful safety test is documented by a sticker, so that supervisory authorities can easily recognize the technically perfect condition of the POLAR product. Safety checks should also be carried out after modifications, longer downtimes, relocations or other events. Regular inspections can prevent any damage leading to dangerous situations and the employer is able to fulfil his legal obligations. Source:
