What is PD 5304:2005?

PD 5304:2005 gives clear, practical guidelines to ensure a high standard of machinery and equipment safety. It looks at a range of health and safety requirements, ranging from the right selection of protective measures and safeguards, to hands-on examples of machine guard design and their applications. Describing a variety of protective measures, this standard also includes explanations of assessment methods and examines safety hazards. By complying with PD 5304, organizations can outline their maintenance and safe working practices to increase overall occupational safety.

How does it work?

PD 5304 helps organizations to strategically select the right protective measures according to their applications. The guidelines set out in this standard demonstrate how to do a risk assessment and identify all hazards – including machine design. It also covers guard design and construction, protective devices, interlocking considerations and safety related control devices.

Who should buy it?

  • Persons dealing with the safe use of machinery, including guards and safety devices
  • Persons responsible for the refurbishment and modification of machinery
  • Persons who develop and implement safe working practices
  • Ergonomic engineers and designers
  • Risk assessors
  • Safety engineers

TitleGuidance on safe use of machinery
AbstractBS 5304:1988 was made obsolescent following publication of a series of harmonized European machinery safety standards. Recognizing that BS 5304 contained valuable practical advice, PD 5304 was published to retain the advice contained in BS 5304 and with the addition of references to those relevant harmonized European machinery safety standards. This edition has been updated to take account of the requirements contained in the current harmonized European machinery safety standards and to help the user to maintain those safety requirements when upgrading, refurbishing or changing the use of machinery.
