Functional Safety for Machine Controls
When implementing technical protective measures (also referred to as “safeguards”) from the hierarchy of controls, as discussed in Part 3 of this series (The Risk Reduction Process Utilizing a Hierarchy of Controls), each risk reduction measure will be associated with a safety function or combination of safety functions. In order for these safety functions to be designed and installed to a degree of reliability commensurate with the risk level of the associated hazard(s), the concepts of functional safety must be applied.
