Hi All,

Please could you let me know if there is a standard / guidance or any document that could be used as guidance when designing a handguard for example for a chisel to protect hands from being struck by a hammer/mallet?

Thanks in advance

Lack of responses probably confirms that there probably isn't such as standard at least not from any authoritative source.

you could make the use of a chisel safer by getting hands away from the line of fire.  Chisel holders are available from many tool suppliers.  For flogging wrenches etc you can use "Fingersaver" tools.
