We recommend you read the American National Standard for Industrial Robot Systems - Safety 
Requirements, published by the Robotic Industries Association (RIA) in conjunction with 
the American National Standards Institute. The publication, ANSI/RIA R15.06, contains 
guidelines for robot system installation, safeguarding, maintenance, testing, startup, and 
operator training.
