If a user wishes to specify a standard height for guarding around the entire machine, the horizontal distance can be adjusted until the minimum protective structure height matches the preferred guard height. After the user has entered the horizontal distance to the hazard and the height of the hazard, the Calculator automatically works out the minimum height of the protective structure required.

In the Protective Structure Minimum Height Calculator, users can select whether BS EN ISO 13857 Table 1 safety distances should be used – which is appropriate when injuries would be of a minor nature and the probability of occurrence is low – or Table 2, which is the case for most machines. It is built on an Excel spreadsheet, though no prior knowledge of Excel is required to use it instructions are provided and selections are made via drop-down menus. The Safety Distance Calculator is an invaluable aid when designing and specifying perimeter guarding for machinery. Machine builders can also use the standard – and the Safety Distance Calculator – when CE marking machinery to the Machinery Directive for the EU market.
