Equipment Safety Standards
Equipment safety standards are guidelines and rules established to ensure machinery and tools are designed, maintained, and used safely, minimizing risks to users. They help prevent accidents, injuries, and damage by setting requirements for stability, electrical safety, proper operation, and regular inspections. These standards are recognized internationally or nationally and often mandated by law to promote consistent safety practices across industries. Adhering to equipment safety standards ensures a safer work environment, protects workers, and helps organizations comply with legal and insurance requirements.
