Practical Machinery And Automation Safety For Industry aims to provide you with the knowledge to tackle machinery safety control problems at a basic and practical level whilst achieving compliance with national and international standards. <br>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. <br>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.<br><br>1. Plan and implement safety systems that deliver a safe working environment and compliance with national and international standards.<br>2. Apply simple risk assessments and hazard design methods to your own projects<br>3. Identify hazards that occur with machinery and know how to deal with them
