Machine users expect to be offered only safe machinery or devices. This expectation exists worldwide. There are also regulations on the protection of operators of machinery worldwide. These regulations are subject to regional variations. However, there is broad agreement on the process to be applied during the manufacture and upgrade of machinery.  \n• During the design and manufacture of machinery, the machine manufacturershall identify and evaluate all possible hazards and hazardous points by undertaking a risk assessment (formerly also called a hazard analysis) .  \n• Based on this risk assessment, the supplier and user should take suitable design measures to eliminate or reduce the risk. If the risk cannot be eliminated by these design measures or the remaining risk cannot be tolerated, the supplier and user shall define, select, and apply suitable engineering controls. If the remaining risk is not acceptable, administrative controls such as organizational procedures should be implemented. Information on the residual risks should also be provided.  \n• To ensure the intended measures work correctly, overall validation is necessary. This overall validation shall evaluate the design and technical measures, as well as the organizational measures in context.  \nWe can guide you to safe machinery in 6 steps. The procedure is outlined on the previous page.  \nAbout this guide   \nWhat does the guide contain?  \nIn front of you is an extensive guide on the legal background relating to machinery and on the selection and use of protective devices. We will show you various ways in which you can safeguard machinery and protect people against accidents taking into account the applicable laws, regulations, directives, and standards.
