Abstract The computer programme "Safety Calculator Pascal" supports safety engineers in the design of automatic guards for machinery according to the standards EN 61058 and prEN ISO 13849-1. The example of an enclosed robot is used to explain the computer programme. The programme may be used in the planning and design stages of an automatic guard and also assists designers in calculating the probability of failure of each component of the automatic guard including the safety-related control system.
