New health and safety requirements

  • Safety of systems that have safety related functions with self-evolving behaviour
  • Protection against corruption of safety functions in machinery products with digital elements
  • That the user of machinery products, where applicable, can test the safety functions
  • Avoidance of the need of demanding work posures or movements an manual force exertions that exceed the opertor‘s capacity
  • Avoidance of risk to contact in case of human machine interaction or coexistence in a shared space
  • Adequuate machine access dimensioning
  • Approproiate contents and format of instructions for use
  • Protable hand-held or hand guided machinery products having exhaust fume provisions
  • Safety of autonomous mobile machinery
  • Safety belt reminder or inhibition of operating certain mobile machinery when the safety belt is not used
