Chapter 3.5
Safe access to large machinery systems
Today, large machinery systems are often enclosed by guard fencing. The integrated machinery behind the guard fence may include production machines, conveyors, robots, etc., and cover an entire factory hall or extend across several levels of a building. Automated warehouses likewise feature combinations of S/R machines, conveyors, and packaging systems. In this chapter, you will learn about the safety measures and standards necessary to ensure safe and efficient access to these complex systems.
