Draft available for comment - safety standard for cast film extrusion machines

Developed by the Cast Film Drafting Group, the document available for review and comment proposes safety requirements that would apply to all machines equipped with one or more metal rolls upon which a plastic melt is cast for the purpose of heat transfer and can include flat film or embossed film applications. This standard identifies and addresses known hazards to personnel working on, or adjacent to, the machinery. Safety requirements of ancillary equipment used with the machinery are not covered by this standard.

The PLASTICS Standards Program values feedback from the plastics industry in the development of its safety standards.  The drafting group will give careful consideration to all comments received.
