Understanding Machine Safety: A Systems Approach

Today’s manufacturers often struggle to see beyond the current misunderstandings of machine safety and how it is accomplished. Their approaches are often narrow in vision, and focused on components that need to be purchased, or some new item implemented to improve part of the machine safety system. These companies should be focusing on the larger picture, the machine safety system as a whole, if it meets safety standards, and if the design will properly protect those who are exposed to any hazards the machine may present.
