In the field of risk prevention, return on experience (ROE) is one of the possible strategies for risk control. It can thus be used for corrective purposes by a posteriori analysis of incidents and accidents, and it can also be implemented for preventive…

Servomotor presses are innovative machines and their sales are increasing. Development of servomotors and the recent arrival on the market of power drive systems, featuring so-called “pre-defined” safety functions, have contributed to their…

The quickening pace of technological change is resulting in more and more constructors and renovators of machinery using automatic safety dedicated PLC to ensure both machine control and operator safety functions.
INRS, within the context…

The emergence of smart or intelligent personal protective systems (SPPS) raises new questions with regard to occupational risk prevention. While manufacturers and standardization bodies are wonder- ing about the safety requirements applicable…

Development in technologies has led to huge strides being made in industrial robotics. It used to be inconceivable for the operator to penetrate into the workspace of the robot during production. Henceforth, the standard on safety requirements…

This document is intended to guide designers to perform machinery control systems with only one or a few "basic" safety functions such as emergency stop or movable guard.
Among the available standards for machine design, NF EN ISO 13849-1 is the…

The designers of automated systems must increasingly integrate complex components such as Programmable Logic Controllers dedicated to safety or fieldbus dedicated to safety for processing safety functions.
Among the available standards…
