IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT OF HAZARDS RESULTING FROM THE STRUCTURE OF THE WHEELED CHILD CONVEYANCES COMMERCIALIZED ON THE POLISH MARKET
Journal Title: Journal of Machine Construction and Maintenance - Year 2018, Vol 110, Issue 3
Abstract
Safety of wheeled child conveyances in EU is still unsatisfactory despite the European safety standards that are in force. Data on safety assessment of conveyances commercialized in Poland have not been documented so far, and they require to be completed with some parameters that may be causing hazards. The aim of the research was the safety assessment of conveyances on the Polish market. The tests were carried out according to own methodology for 84 conveyances. The test results showed that the majority of conveyances did not meet the safety criteria. They indicated a necessity of design changes in the case of conveyances regarding their stability and mechanical strength as well as an elimination of a child’s access to dangerous openings and easy-to-be-detached components. The conducted tests complement the present knowledge on the safety and ergonomics of wheeled child conveyances and form a basis for continuing the research work on an improvement of their design.
