this guide, read the Robot Safety Guide (Cat. No. I590), and complete a training
course for their responsibilities in regard to the robot.
•
All personnel who design the robot system must read this guide, read the Robot
Safety Guide (Cat. No. I590), and must comply with all local and national safety regu-
lations for the location in which the robot is installed.
•
