Introduction

Hazards must come to a safe state prior to an operator reaching the hazard. For the safety distance calculation, there are two groups of standards that have proliferated. In this chapter, these standards are grouped as follows:

ISO EN: (ISO 13855 and EN 999)

US CAN (ANSI B11.19, ANSI RIA R15.06 and CAN/CSA Z434-03)
