Description
Practical Machinery Safety
aims to provide you with the knowledge to tackle machinery safety control problems
at a practical level whilst achieving compliance with national and international standards.
The book highlights the major international
standards that are used to support compliance with EU regulations and uses these standards as a basis for the design procedures. It looks
at the risk assessment processes used to identify hazards and to quantify the risks inherent in a machine. It introduces the concepts
of safety categories as defined by standard EN954-1 (Safety of Machinery) and illustrates the principles of failsafe design, fault tolerance
and self-testing.
It also provides an introduction to machinery protection devices such as guards, enclosures with interlocks and guard-monitoring
relays, locking systems, safety mats, photo-electric and electro-sensitive principles and the application of light curtains, a study
of Safety Control System techniques, and introduces the principles of safety-certified PLCs.
