I am looking for thoughts and feedback on implementation of safety standards into control design, what direction the USA is headed in reference to existing ANSI standards becoming regulation through OSHA (governing body referencing the standards), and thoughts on the design references that we are being asked more often by customers, requiring Category (B, 1-4) references of the EN954-1 European risk assessment standards. What standards and regulations do you use (in general) and ultimately, is it not the end user working with the machine builder to produce a "safe" machine or assembly line?
