Specifies basic terminology, principles, and a methodology for achieving safety in the design of machinery. This standard specifies principles of risk assessment and risk reduction to help designers in achieving this objective. Procedures are described for identifying hazards and estimating and evaluating risks during relevant phases of the machine life cycle, and for the elimination of hazards or the provision of sufficient risk reduction.
