Summary
Fixed guards and presence sensing safety devices are often used as control measures for risk reductions. One important aspect to consider when implementing such solutions are their physical placements in relation to the hazard. Join us as we discuss the requirements for safe minimum distances to ensure compliance and an effective safe solution for these specific control measures.
During this webinar attendees will learn about:
- The need for a minimum safe distance and when they apply;
- Requirements and standards focused on determining minimum safe distances;
- Methods to calculate and implement minimum safe distances.
