feat(iace): open-source safety KB sources + bp_iace_safety_kb (Thema 2)
Versioned, license-tagged source docs for the multi-layer GT knowledge base, ingested into the new core RAG collection bp_iace_safety_kb (whitelisted in the RAG search handler): - prism_risk_methodology.md — OPSS PRISM v2 (OGL v3): full severity(4)× probability(8) → risk-level matrix (Serious/High/Medium/Low), RAPEX-aligned. - cobot_biomech_limits.md — CC BY 4.0 papers (Behrens 2022 / Park 2019): force (N) & pressure (N/cm²) pain thresholds by body region (the data behind ISO/TS 15066, cited from the open papers — standard tables NOT reproduced). - hse_example_risk_assessments.md — HSE (OGL v3): qualitative hazard→control. - osha_robot_safety.md — OSHA OTM (public domain): 250 mm/s teach anchor, robot hazard taxonomy, safeguarding hierarchy. No DIN/EN/ISO/IEC/DGUV content reproduced; each doc states its license + attribution. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Industrial & collaborative robot safety (OSHA, US public domain)
|
||||
|
||||
Citable source document for the IACE robot/cobot hazard taxonomy and the
|
||||
reduced-speed anchor. US Government work — free to reuse verbatim.
|
||||
|
||||

## Reduced / teach-mode speed limit
|
||||
|
||||
OSHA states (quoting the ANSI/RIA basis): during teach/manual mode, robot speed
|
||||
should be at a **reduced speed of 10 inches per second (250 mm/s) or less** at the
|
||||
tool center point. This is the public, citable basis for the IACE 250 mm/s teach
|
||||
anchor (matches the GT Bremse session and engine measure M340/M492).
|
||||
|
||||
## Robot hazard taxonomy
|
||||
|
||||
| Hazard | Description |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| Impact / collision | Unpredicted movement, component malfunction, unexpected program changes |
|
||||
| Crushing / trapping | Operator trapped between robot arm and fixed structure; pinch points |
|
||||
| Struck-by (mechanical part) | Failure of gripper/end-effector; ejected workpiece, tool or debris |
|
||||
| Electrical / hydraulic / pneumatic | Stored energy, high-pressure fluid injection, energized parts |
|
||||
| Slip / trip / fall | Around the cell, cabling, fluids |
|
||||
| Environmental | Arc flash, fumes, noise, radiation depending on process |
|
||||
|
||||
## Safeguarding hierarchy (OSHA / ANSI basis)
|
||||
|
||||
Fixed barriers → interlocked guards → presence-sensing (light curtains, area
|
||||
scanners, safety mats) → enabling/hold-to-run devices in teach mode → speed-and-
|
||||
separation monitoring (collaborative) → power-and-force limiting (collaborative)
|
||||
→ awareness barriers/signs. Energy isolation (lockout/tagout) for maintenance.
|
||||
|
||||
## How these are used in IACE
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Reduced-speed anchor:** the 250 mm/s teach limit is a public-domain anchor
|
||||
for robot/cobot speed-limiting measures (no copyrighted standard needed).
|
||||
2. **Hazard taxonomy:** seeds the robot/cobot hazard categories (impact, crush,
|
||||
struck-by, energy) for pattern coverage checks.
|
||||
3. **Safeguarding hierarchy:** orders the protective-measure suggestions for
|
||||
robot cells (barriers → sensing → enabling → SSM/PFL → LOTO).
|
||||
