Nothing actually but you can still get it - it is now known as PD 5304 available as a ring bound book from BSI (bet you can't tell I've got a copy on the shelf!!).

Following changing domestic legislation i.e. Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations and PUWER, together with the publication of a series of harmonised European Standards, BS 5304 is now obsolete and replaced by PD 5304:2000 The safe use of machinery
The BSI PD series are in the category of "Published Documents"

Unlike BS 5304 that covered almost all aspects of Machinery Safety & Guarding, there are several European Standards instead.

"PD 5304:2000- The safe use of machinery"
is a comprehensive reference guide for users of machinery, enforcement authorities and all those concerned with information, instruction and training in a safe working practices.

More information o n PD 5304 can be accesses via the BSI website

Whilst nothing has been as user friendly as BSEN 5304, the standard itself has been superceded by a number of european standards the key ones being:

BSEN292:1991 (parts 1 &2) Safety of machinery - basic concepts, general principals of design

BSEN 294:1992 Safety of machinery - Safety distances to prevent danger zones being reached by upper limbs

BSEN 1050:1997 Safety of machinery -Principles for risk assessment.

BSEN1088:1996 Safety of machinery Interlocking devices associated with guards - Principles for design and selection.

Hope that helps!
