| Abstract: | The use of industrial robots is considered from the viewpoint of the strategies employed to ensure health and safety. The British legal context for health and safety is reviewed and a framework of strategies for ensuring safety is utilized to discuss research findings from 6 companies on 84 robots. Some problems with the systems' operations and the adaptations that resulted are considered. It is shown that the strategic means of hazard anticipation and control varied considerably and that an overreliance upon physical safeguards occurred. |
