This section introduces some of the industrial machine guarding safety regulations in the US. This is only a starting point; readers must further investigate the requirements for their specific applications and take measures to ensure their designs, uses and maintenance procedures and practices meet their own needs as well as national and local codes and regulations.

There are many organizations that promote industrial safety in the United States. These include:

1. Corporations, which use established requirements as well as establish their own internal requirements;
2. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA);
3. Industrial organizations like the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Robotics Industries Association (RIA), the Association of Manufacturing Technology (AMT) and the suppliers of safety products and solutions such as Rockwell Automation.
