Machine safety is a challenging and multi-layered topic, which presents real challenges not only to machine builders but also safety engineers. During the selection of safety equipment, consideration has to be given to technical aspects as well as applicable regulations and substantiated standards. This complexity often requires extensive specialist knowledge.
