    Why did Pilz develop a new method

    for assessing and evaluating risk?

    Pilz spirit of continual improvement drives us

    to evolve our services. We rely on the knowledge

    of our global team of Machinery Safety Experts

    and our quality reviews of thousands of successful

    machinery safety projects to refine our services.

    We contribute to and review new and emerging

    standards including ISO 12100:2010 and

    ANSI B11.0-2010 to define best practice in the

    delivery of our services. Our experience is based

    on our international presence in more than 40

    countries and our participation in all important

    standard committees.

    In light of evolving standards and our pursuit of

    continuous improvement, Pilz have further refined

    the estimation and evaluation of risk. The result is

    Pilz Hazard Rating (PHR).

    Why is Risk Estimation important

    in the Risk Assessment process?

    Risk Assessment is fundamental to the achieve-

    ment of safety through design of new machinery and

    for selecting safeguarding and other risk reduction

    measures on existing machinery. Risk estimation is

    a critical step in the process. It enables risk from

    identified hazards to be qualified and quantifiedin order to distinguish high-risk possibilities from

    low-risk possibilities when considering machinery

    safety. We in Pilz use a numerical rating system

    which provides a relative score for the risk from

    each hazard. Recently we have evolved and refined

    our risk estimation methodology for prioritised risk

    decision making.

    What is PHR?

    Pilz Hazard Rating is a newly designed system

    for assigning a numerical estimate of risk based

    on the formula:

    PHR = DPH x PO x PA x FE

    Where:

    DPHrepresents Degree of Possible Harm

    POrepresents Probability of Occurrence

    PArepresents Possibility of Avoidance

    FErepresents Frequency and/or

    Duration of Exposure

    Risk estimation is dependant upon the subjective

    judgement of competent persons. Through our PHR

    which is specifically tailored to assess machinery

    safety we ensure consistent objective and practical

    evaluation on factors including:

    The severity of the potential consequence

    defined by the degree of injury, the nature and

    frequency of access to the hazard and the

    duration of time in the danger zone

    The probability of a hazardous event occurring

    The possibility that a person can avoid the

    hazard in certain specific conditions
