The aim of safety design is to reduce or eliminate danger points through detailed planning of the necessary safeguards plus the selection of appropriate technologies. It is essential to integrate a detailed safety design before the concrete implementation, in order to avoid subsequent costs and increase the machine's availability, as well as reduce downtime to a minimum. This applies whether the machine is to be built from new, retrofit or converted.
