Working Safely With Machines
It can often seem that machine safety and productivity work against each other in manufacturing environments. But that doesn’t have to be the case. With SICK sensors, you can maintain maximum machine shop safety and production. Our extensive knowledge of how to safely equip machines and plants expands to a wide range of different industries enable autonomous system operation and optimal collaboration between humans and machines. Machine guarding safety is vital to reducing risk and stress in the workplace.
REDUCE YOUR RISK BY FOLLOWING THE NEW MACHINE SAFETY STANDARDS
ANSI B11.19 Standard
More than 11,000 American National Standards (ANS) exist in the US, with many applying to the safety of people working with industrial equipment. Of these, one of the most essential, and broadly applicable, is ANSI B11.19 – Performance Requirements for Risk Reduction Measures. This standard is part of the B11 series of machinery safety standards, and applies to power driven industrial machinery which are not portable by hand while working.
In this guide, you’ll have access to six different white papers that provide an overview of the updated ANSI B11.19 standard. It includes details on reducing risk on industrial machinery and shares information on various safety sensors for machines.
