This standard provides requirements for use in developing effective safeguarding methods to protect people from injury due to inadvertent contact with mechanical power transmission apparatus. When specific safeguarding methods are listed, they are based on sound safety practices; however, alternatives that provide equivalent protection are acceptable. The use of personal protective equipment is recommended, where applicable, but its use does not negate provisions of this Standard.

This standard applies to machines with a work envelope equal to or greater than two cubic meters (2 m3) or two meters of linear axis travel, or where personnel are regularly required to enter into the working envelope to perform work or tasks. This standard applies to large machines with a working envelope greater than two cubic meters (meters of travel). The requirements in this standard apply to all large machines, unless they are specifically covered in or by another standard. This document is intended to be used with both ANSI B11.0 and ANSI B11.19 to execute the risk assessment process and the risk reduction measures, respectively.

This Technical Report introduces three categories of inspections; conversational inspections, visual inspections, and technical inspections. Applying the appropriate category to existing inspections improves communication, safety culture, and risk reduction measures. Although each of the three categories provide a benefit, it is not necessary for all categories to be used. The template checklists which are included may be modified to produce “organizational specific” checklists by either internal or external subject matter experts

This document provides guidance on the practical application of safety and lean manufacturing principles to machinery and manufacturing systems for improving performance, safety and quality by reducing injury and waste. The guidelines in this technical report assist machine tool users to minimize waste and risk associated with machinery and manufacturing systems, including individual and integrated machine tools and auxiliary components.

The requirements of this standard apply only to those mechanically-powered machine tools commonly referred to as mechanical power presses, which transmit force mechanically to cut, form, or assemble metal or other materials by means of tools or dies attached to or operated by slides.

This document gives machine manufacturers guidance on potential security aspects in relation to safety of machinery when putting a machine into service or placing it on the market for the first time. It provides essential information to identify and address IT-security threats which can influence the safety of machinery.

This Technical Report provides guidance in understanding and implementing safety-related control functions (functional safety) as they relate to electrical, electronic, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic components and systems for machine tools covered by the B11 series of safety standards.

This document provides ergonomic design guidelines intended to improve quality, performance and safety by reducing fatigue and injury associated with manufacturing systems, including individual and integrated machines and auxiliary components. It is intended to be a resource that can be applied to:Design or major modification, installation and use of machines and their auxiliary components. Design of a manufacturing system supporting machines and auxiliary components. Improve safety, quality and productivity, and reduce errors associated with a manufacturing system.Integrating ergonomic concepts early in the design process should maximize the impact and cost effectiveness of ergonomic interventions during the design process. The goal of this document is to provide guidance on the practical application of ergonomic principles in order to avoid work-related injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), increase productivity, and improve product quality. This document is directed towards technicians, engineers, designers, and safety and health practitioners who deal with general ergonomic issues related to machines. It is not intended to replace in-depth analysis by qualified and experienced ergonomists.

This standard specifies the safety requirements for the design, construction, set-up, operation and maintenance (including installation, dismantling and transport) of integrated manufacturing systems.

This American National Standard provides both requirements and guidance for the implementation of safety-related control functions (functional safety) as they relate to electrical, electronic, pneumatic, hydraulic, and mechanical components of control systems.

This standard provides performance requirements for the design, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of the risk reduction measures listed below when applied to machines. · inherently safe by design (see clause 7). · engineering controls – guards (see clause 8). · engineering controls – control functions (see clause 9). · engineering controls – devices (see clause 10). · administrative controls (see clause 11).
