  1. EN 115-2Safety of escalators and moving walks - Part 2: Rules for the improvement of safety of existing escalators and moving walks © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 1 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  2. BackgroundEuropean Union • More than 75 000 escalators and moving walks are in operation • More than 50% were installed in the last century • These machines are operational at different safety levels with different risk levels which may cause accidents. In today's legal environment, owners and maintenance companies must warrant a high degree of safety for users and service technicians. © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 2 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  3. Today‘s state of the art of safetyReducing the gap with EN 115-2 Safety EN115-1 Technology R & D, new standards in health and safety regulations EN115-2 EN115 A2:2004 EN115:1995 EN115 A1:1998 EN115:1983 C.I.R.A. Safety Existing escalators 2004 1983 1995 2000 2001 2008 2009 1920 1969 2010 © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 3 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  4. Approach of EN 115-2 • Categorization of hazards and hazardous situations, each of which has been analyzed by a risk assessment • Provision of corrective actions to • Improve, step by step, the safety of all existing units to today’s state of the art for safety • Enable each unit to be audited and safety measures to be identified and implemented • List the high, medium and low risks and corrective actions which can be applied in separate steps in order to mitigate (reduce) the risks © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 4 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  5. Use of this standard • National authorities to determine their own programs of implementation in a step by step process • Process in a reasonable and practicable way • based on the level of risk (e.g. high, medium, low) and • social and economic considerations • Owners to follow their responsibilities according to existing regulations (e.g. Use of Work Equipment Directive) • Maintenance companies and/or inspection bodies to inform the owners on the safety level of their installations • Owners to upgrade the existing units on a voluntary basis © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 5 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  6. The Scope • This European Standard gives rules for improving the safety of existing escalators and moving walks => Aims to reach an equivalent level of safety to that of a newly installed escalator and moving walk by the application of today’s state of the art for safety. © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 6 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  7. The Scope • This standard includes the improvement of safety of existing escalators and moving walks for: • Users • Maintenance and inspection personnel • Persons outside the escalator or moving walk (but in its immediate vicinity) • Authorized persons • This standard is not applicable to: • Safety during transport, installation, repairs and dismantling of escalators and moving walks • Spiral escalators • Accelerating moving walks © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 7 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  8. List of significant hazards © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 8 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  9. List of significant hazards © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 9 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  10. The Safety check listacc. EN 115-2 – The tool to Example of 5 out of 65 items: • Identify the significant hazards on an existing escalator or moving walk • Determine which type of protective measure(s) proposed by this standard is/are applicable © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 10 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  11. National implementation of EN 115-2 • All technical solutions for upgrading to the state-of-the-art are listed in Clause 5 of this standard • No binding requirements for measures to be carried out on which unit and within which period of time • Subject to national legislation • The given procedures are intended to assist in setting up national regulations • Conclusion: this standard gives examples and templates, but they have to be introduced by national recommendations or laws © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 11 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  12. Backup • Not for distribution © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 12 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  13. Legal environment • Today's state of the art of safety is based on • the European Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, • the harmonized standard EN 115-1 (Safety of escalators and moving walks – Construction and installation) and • the standard EN 115-2 (Rules for the improvement of safety of existing escalators and moving walks) • National laws and regulations related to work and operation safety © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 13 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 19 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  20. Identification and evaluation of hazardous situations • By risk analysis © ELA | T. Kausel |6-Jun-14 | Page 20 H:\Normen\SNEE\Kausel EN 115-2.ppt

  21. The risk analysisClassification of priority levels • upgrading all existing units to the state-of-the-art for safety at the same time may not be possible • subdivision of the hazardous situations in priority levels which then can be removed in several timed steps • The safety levels of the risk profile according to ISO/TS 14798 have been used for classifying the priority levels © ELA | T.
