Procter Machinery Guarding is giving away a free guide to machinery guarding standards.
Available as a PDF document that can be printed by the recipient, this guide is the second edition of the hugely popular "On your guard", updated to reflect changes in standards and with additional references to conveyor guarding.
The six-page second edition of "On your guard" gives machine designers the basics, as well as information about how they can find out more on specific topics.
Machinery guarding is essential if a machine is to operate safely, but designers are seldom aware of the full range of regulations and standards that are applicable.
This guide will certainly help in that respect.
As a leading supplier of machinery guarding, Procter Machinery Guarding is fully aware of the applicable standards in the UK, Europe and beyond, so is ideally positioned to pass on some of this knowledge to machine builders.
"On your guard" explains the importance of guarding and how guards that are well designed can enhance productivity while ensuring operator safety at the same time.
It then goes on to explain the requirements of machinery guarding in relation to the Machinery Directive and CE marking, before listing the main standards that apply to machinery guarding and conveyor guarding.
In addition to providing information about standards, the guide also offers some advice on how to approach the design of guarding and the specification of the access control system.
This will aid the creation of cost-effective guard designs that will deliver an adequate level of safety and help to avoid the age-old problem of operators and maintenance personnel attempting to bypass the safety measures.
At the rear of the guide there are useful contact details for a variety of sources of further information, including the HSE, BSI and DTI.
Copies of "On your guard" can be requested free of charge from Procter Machinery Guarding.
