Procter publishes updated guide to machine safety and guarding standards
Procter Machine Safety has updated its ever-popular guide to machine safety and guarding standards. The 14th edition is an essential free download for anyone with an interest in machine safety, including designers, specifiers, production engineers, health and safety managers, and maintenance managers.
Everything in the guide has been revised to bring it right up to date. There are new statistics from the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) relating to fatalities and other accidents involving machinery. In addition, the text now refers to UKCA marking as well as CE marking, and information about the forthcoming EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 has been included for the first time.
Machine safety standards are continually being reviewed and revised, so the updated guide lists all the latest standards and amendments. As well as designated/harmonised standards, the guide highlights other relevant standards and published documents.
Within the guide, the advice on how to apply the standards has been fine-tuned for clarity and readability.
Finally, the sections at the end presenting Useful Resources and sources of Further Information have been brought up to date, with current contact details and web links.
