Safety of machineryDesigners, manufacturers and machine operators need to be aware of the issues surrounding machine safety. The following standards provide practical guidance that will help you reduce accidents and other adverse health effects from machinery.
BS EN ISO 13849-1:2015 Safety of machinery.
Safety-related parts of control systems.
General principles for design
BS EN ISO 13849-1:2015 is a type-B1 standard
and provides safety requirements and
guidance on the principles for the design and
integration of safety-related parts of control
systems (SRP/CS), including the design of
software.
BS EN ISO 14120:2015 Safety of machinery.
Guards. General requirements for the
design and construction of fixed and
movable guards
BS EN ISO 14120:2015 covers a comprehensive
range of requirements for the design,
construction, application and testing of fixed
and movable guards. BS EN ISO 14120:2015
is relevant to all machine designers, builders,
installers and integrators as well as health and
safety inspectors and enforcement bodies.
“The BS EN ISO 14120:2015 on the design and construction of guards is a key standard in the field of machinery safety. Guards provide both protection against unintended access, ejected parts and substances as well as other hazards such as noise.
It’s a type-B standard that is applicable to a wide range of machinery - both new and existing - and especially those drafting type-C standards on specific types or groups of machinery.”
Richard Wilson, Machinery Safety Expert
and retired Mechanical Engineering
Specialist at HSE
BS EN ISO 13850:2015 Safety of machinery.
Emergency stop function. Principles for design

machinery. Functional safety of safety-related
electrical, electronic and programmable
electronic control systems
BS EN 62061:2005+A2:2015 sets out
requirements for safety-related machinery
control systems, and describes how to
achieve the necessary performance. It gives
you assurance that your safety related
control system has the required integrity
required for the level of risk.
PD 5304:2014 Guidance on safe
use of machinery
PD 5304:2014 provides comprehensive
guidance on practical measures and
techniques that can be used to safeguard
machinery operators, maintenance
personnel and others. The guidance deals

testing and marking of electrical equipment
and Ex Components with type of protection
increased safety “e” intended for use in
explosive gas atmospheres.
BS EN 60079-10-1:2015 Explosive
atmospheres. Classification of areas.
Explosive gas atmospheres
BS EN 60079-10-1:2015 sets out the essential
criteria against which ignition hazards can be
assessed, and gives guidance on the design
and control parameters which can be used in
order to reduce such hazards. BS EN 60079-
10-1:2015 focuses on the classification of
areas where flammable gas or vapour
hazards may arise.
“The purpose of the 60079/80079 series of standards is to avoid death, serious injury, plant losses and inventory losses where plants operate with hazardous substances which may lead to explosive atmospheres in the event of a release of a flammable gas, vapour, mist or dust. This international series of standards are widely accepted throughout the world and form the basis of standards used to support the ATEX Directives 2014/34/EU and 1999/92/EC.”

at SGS Baseefa
Coming soon
BS EN 60204-1 Safety of machinery.
Electrical equipment of machines.
General requirements

electronic and programmable
electronic equipment and systems
to machines not portable by hand
while working, including a group
of machines working together in
a co-ordinated manner.
BS EN ISO 13854 Safety of machinery.
Minimum gaps to avoid crushing of
parts of the human
BS EN ISO 13854 enables users to
avoid hazards from crushing zones.
It specifies minimum gaps relative
to parts of the human body and is
applicable when adequate safety
can be achieved by thus method.
The publication of BS EN ISO 80079 parts 36 and 37 “opens up opportunities for manufacturers of non-electrical equipment for explosive atmospheres to gain IECEx certification for their products. IECEx certification of electrical equipment is already well established and recognized globally and the addition of certification for non-electrical equipment will be of undoubted benefit to manufacturers allowing them to achieve both IECEx and ATEX certification based on identical technical standards. Based on these standards manufacturers will be able to meet the requirements of both the international market and the ATEX requirements of the European Union.”

Occupational health and safetyEmployers stand to gain a great deal when they reduce workplace hazards and boost employee care and morale.
Occupational health and safety standards set out workplace health and safety requirements and offer guidance and good practice on assessing and managing psychosocial risks.
BS OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational health
and safety management systems. Requirements
BS OHSAS 18001:2007 sets out the
minimum requirements for a best practice
occupational health and safety management
system – helping organizations to control
their hazards and risks, while boosting their
performance. This standard also assists
companies with their planning and policy
formation, while ensuring they comply with
the latest health and safety requirements
and legislation.
PAS 1010:2011 Guidance on the management
of psychosocial risks in the workplace
PAS 1010:2011 gives practical guidance on
the management of psychosocial risks in
work environments. These risks at work can
be a major cause of stress, and with stress
affecting the mental and physical well-being
of over 40 million workers in the European
Union each year, PAS 1010 is a good
investment to improve management
techniques and overall company
performance. PAS 1010 sets the benchmark
for psychosocial risk assessment and
management, and helps assessors to
address this area of health and safety
more effectively.

What is ISO 45001?
ISO 45001 will be the world’s first truly
international occupational health and safety
(OH&S) management system standard.
It’s designed to help each organization put
a system in place to continually improve
the health and safety of those working
on its behalf.
What are the anticipated benefits of ISO 45001?
ISO 45001 brings occupational health and
safety management into the heart of an
organization. This new standard is an
opportunity for organizations to align
occupational health and safety policy and
processes with the strategic direction and
day-to-day operation of the business. In
addition, there’s an increased focus on
continually improving occupational health
and safety performance.
ISO 45001 will enable you to better align and
integrate multiple management standards
and to take a risk-based approach, becoming
a tool for preventive action. This makes
it a preventative standard and a driver for
continuous OH&S performance improvement.
Our customers tell us they get multiple
benefits as a result of implementing and
adopting occupational health and safety
management systems, and are able to:
• Reduce work related injuries, ill health
and death
• Eliminate or minimize OH&S risks
• Improve OH&S performance
and effectiveness
• Demonstrate corporate responsibility
and meet supply chain requirements
• Protect brand reputation
• Motivate and engage staff through
consultation and participation

enable organizations to achieve their
desired RTS results.
“BS EN ISO 7010 has now been adopted as a European norm and will be automatically adopted as the domestic standard within all member states of the European Union. All workplaces, including merchant and passenger vessels will be required to implement and display the new graphical symbols for safety communication. The objective is to ensure that only graphical symbols with the highest comprehension credentials are used and to ensure we are not playing ‘Pictionary’ with people’s lives.”
