This session is the first in a two part series on machine Safety Essentials.
In this session, we will take a look at the fundamental concepts of safety of machinery; what are risks and hazards, how do we avoid them, and how do we protect against them?
What are safety devices, and what about them makes them safe in the first place?
We will look at some of the terminologies used in the several machine safety standards; what are safety categories and performance level, and how do we determine what we design for?

Really excellent presentation on a very confusing topic. Thank you

By far the BEST presentation on this confusing topic that I have ever seen, excellent job. I take slight issue with your definition of Category 2 as I believe these circuits can use general purpose or safety rated components, the rest of what you said is believe to be true.
