Inherently Safe Design

At the machine design phase it will be possible to avoid many of the possible hazards simply by careful consideration of factors such as materials, access requirements, hot surfaces, transmission methods, trap points, voltage levels, etc.

For example, if access is not required to a dangerous area, the solution is to safeguard it within the body of the machine or by some type of fixed enclosing guard.
