The AS/NZS 4024 Safety of Machinery series provides the current state of knowledge and best practice and is the primary standard set for the safeguarding of machinery and plant. These standards have particular relevance to WHS and OHS legislation.

The A/NZS 4024.1 series was revised and published in August 2019, superseding the previous 2014 versions.

The series contains 26 Parts that are European (EN) and Internationally-based (ISO) Safety and Design Standards with some modifications to meet Australia's tough safety practices and regulations.

The series provides designers, manufacturers, suppliers, employers and users of machinery with guidelines to help reduce the risks of working with, or near, machinery.
