1.3.8.1 Moving transmission parts

Previously: it is good practice to use interlocking Now: it is a requirement when access occurs frequently

- Identify all moving transmission parts where access occurs frequently (e.g. maintenance, cleaning, adjustment)

- Verify whether existing guards are:
- fixed guards, or
- interlocked movable guards

- If fixed guards are used where frequent access is required:
- assess whether this leads to guards being removed regularly
- identify the risk of guard bypassing

- Ensure that interlocked movable guards are used where frequent access can be anticipated

- If necessary: replace fixed guards with interlocked movable guards

- Verify that the interlocking meets safety requirements (stops hazardous functions when opened)

- Update the risk assessment so that the choice of guard is justified based on frequency of use

- Update the technical documentation and drawings if modifications are made
