Abstract

The use of machines in the manufacturing processes is something normal to all factories during the last years, the search for productivity and lower costs on the process has been pursuit in all areas of the economy based on a crescent competitiveness around the globe, but all this use of machines brought new issues to the daily work on these mills: accidents and illness as a consequence of bad practices and lack of investment in safety on this equipment. The equipment analyzed on this report is a Vertical Sliced used to produce sliced veneers on the furniture industry, this equipment is part of a bigger process where the logs are processed into veneers, because of the kind of the raw material involved the movement of heavy material is constant and this brings extra risks to the whole process. Using the HRN (Hazard Rating Number) method to analyze the equipment made the risks analysis possible and find solutions for them to achieve a safer process and make it attend to the legal requests. All this analysis, adequacy and new startup made evident that even a consolidated process can be improved and better safety rates are possible using the professional expertise and correct methods without decreasing productivity.
