5 from practice For maintenance : Spare actuator on the bunch of keys 5

6 Start of the campaign: 2007 In about 50% of the companies inspected we found one or more machines with defeated safeguards [Result of 230 announced inspections in the metal and plastics industry] In many companies defeating is a kind of "standard procedure" if something doesn't work properly without any thoughts about the legal consequences 6

7 Reasons for defeating? Habit, we have always done it like this Better view of the workpiece Remove very small parts Remove waste Problems with the process Unsuitable machine Blind viewing window It is an easy solution for the problem Find program errors etc. 7

8 Legal situation Based on the Swiss criminal code, defeating is illegal Possible penalties: and / or 8

9 Targets Awareness: Management, supervisors and workers know the problem Act: The necessary measures will be taken Culture change: Common statement: "We do not defeat any safety equipment!" 9
