CSA Z432-04 - Safeguarding of machinery

Scope
This Standard applies to the protection of persons from the hazards arising from the use of mobile or stationary machinery. It provides the criteria to be observed and the description, selection, and application of guards and safety devices. Where a current CSA Standard exists for a specific type of machinery (e.g., CAN/CSA-B167, CAN/CSA-B354.2, CAN/CSA-M424.1, Z142, Z248, and CAN/CSA-Z434), it is to be used in conjunction with this Standard to provide the most effective protection to the particular situation.

Exclusions
This Standard does not apply to portable hand tools.

Purpose
This Standard is intended for those who design, build, modify, install, use, operate, or maintain machinery, machinery guarding, or safety devices. It is also intended to be used by those concerned with information, instruction, and training in safe working practices.

Interaction with other standards
Machinery safeguarding is not performed in isolation from other protective measures. Typically, industrial machinery is installed in workplaces where other associated activities take place (e.g., movement of materials, cables, pipes, and hoses supplying power, gases, and liquids, and workers on foot and operating vehicles). Other machinery and work environment standards applicable to any place where this Standard is being implemented should therefore be reviewed.

This Standard refers to the following publications, and where such reference is made, it shall be to the edition listed below.
