Abstract.
This article describes the general principles that designers should use in the design of machinery, with the aim to reduce risk throughout its intended use. These principles for risk reduction examine different conceptual solutions for machine safety systems. The safety systems suggested in the article do not reduce the ability of the machinery to perform its intended function(s) during its life cycle, whereas the risk is sufficiently reduced. These principles are based on knowledge and experience of the design, use, incidents, accidents and risks associated with machinery. For the purpose of safe machine handling, the procedures for the elimination of hazards or the provision of sufficient risk reduction in the phase of the design of machinery have been given in this article.
Key Words:

PRINCIPI SMANJENJA RIZIKA
U FAZI PROJEKTOVANJA MAŠINA
U radu se daju opšti principi koje projektanti treba da koriste u fazi projektovanja mašine, kako bi se smanjio njen rizik pri korišćenju u predviđenoj upotrebi. Datim principima za smanjenje rizika razmatarju se različita koncepcijska rešenja sistema bezbednosti mašina. Predloženi sistemi zaštite ne umanjuju sposobnost mašine da obavlja svoju predviđenu funkciju/e u toku svog životnog ciklusa, dok je rizik adekvatno smanjen. Dati principi su zasnovani na saznanjima i iskustvu koji proističu iz analize incidenata, nezgoda i rizika koje mašina sa sobom nosi. U cilju bezbednog opsluživanja mašina dati su postupci za eliminisanje opasnosti, odnosno odredbe za dovoljno smanjenje rizika u fazi projektovanja mašine.
