I need to find information regarding minimum distances / size of openings in terms of guarding dangerous parts of machines. Is there a relevant British Standard or some other source of information?
Many thanks.

I posted this a couple of days ago in response to another query.

Whilst nothing has been as user friendly as BSEN 5304, the standard itself has been superceded by a number of european standards the key ones being: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