Risk Assessment of Large Format Printing machines (LFP)

The Professional Association Printing and Paper Converting is the statutory German accident insurer and as such they take their own best interest in machine safety. Regular inspections which they carry out on customer sites as part of their prevention mandate revealed that especially on Large Format Printing machines (LFP) safety does not keep up with the rapid technical development that took place over the past years in this field. The deficiencies and weak points in technical machine safety described below result from notifications we received from the Technical Inspectorate of the Professional Association Printing and Paper Converting.
