How can you approach a machine while it is running for setup and maintenance?

Numerous Standards deal with this issue for the specific types of machines they cover. No attempt will be made here to discuss these in depth and the reader is encouraged to review standards such as CSA Z434 (the robotics Code), CSA Z142 (the punch press Code), ANSI B11.23 (CNC machine Code) and so on.
The general 'Safeguarding of Machinery' Standard, CSA Z432-04, addresses the need for a control to allow for "setting, teaching, process changeover, fault-finding, cleaning, or maintenance". CSA Z432-04 calls for the use of an enabling device with a 3-position switch, such as the one shown in the photo to the left.
