危險-遠離；工業安全防護傳感器

　　在發達經濟體的工業文化中，對工作安全的嚴格關注已經根深蒂固。安全是重要的不僅是工人也為雇主，誰理解一個良好的安全記錄的財務和名譽利益。

　　以安全為導向的法規涵蓋了從工作環境和實踐到工作場所設備設計的許多方面。機械必須滿足的基本健康和安全要求（ehsrs），如在歐洲機械指令2006／42／EC上市，保證健康和機器的用戶和其他人誰可能影響安全。

　　Safety Standards and the Machinery Directive

　　Machine design is subject to a system of standards that extends to cover a wide range of risk reduction and safety-protection mechanisms. At the highest level， type A standards include ISO12100， which sets out basic concepts and design principles that are applicable to all types of machines and also makes reference to risk assessment and risk reduction. At a lower level， type B1 standards set out general requirements for safeguards and type B2 standards apply to particular safety devices.

　　Among the type B standards， those set by the International Standards Organization （ISO） tend to focus on machinery and management， while International Electrotechnical Commission （IEC） standards are concerned with electrical and electronic safety systems. ISO standards include ISO13849-1 covering safety-related parts of control systems. IEC standards， on the other hand， include IEC60204 concerning electrical equipment in general， IEC61496 for electro-sensitive protective equipment， and IEC62046 for equipment designed to detect the presence of persons.
