Safety with Machinery, Second Edition

An essential element in the safe use of machinery is the identification of hazards so that action can be taken to remove them before harm or injury are caused. This applies equally to new machines where the onus is on the designer and manufacturer as well as to existing machinery where the responsibility lies with the engineer and manager of the employer.
