https://padlet.com/nicholas_breeze/9v98vbpc98tt After reading the above definition and the example of functional safety, think of a time, whether at work or during your daily routine that you have witnessed functional safety. This way, we will have a collection of various areas of where functional safety exists.

Then you gotta restart the machine again with the recoil start. 
Venessa Lorusso did the Saw one but I can’t edit my name on the post!

The workcell has a special set of keys that only students and professors know how to use. This prevents inexperienced people from using the equipment and potentially harming themselves or the equipment.

The maximum speed is 0.8km/h to ensure the lift cannot tip over. Also harnesses and guard rails all help to ensure functional safety.

We attached proximity sensors for the window door, once any of the window is opened, the sensor will trigger the ESTOP in the system to stop the whole line.
It prevents while the operator open the window while the machine is still running, operator might be hurt.

I've seen many professional turners of cars input safety for the car itself. for example, a tuner would add a cut off for the RPM of a car to ensure the user does not over rev the engine to reduce damage to the motor

To reduce risk of over filling the tank, the vehicle uses a series of valves and sensors to allow the propane to stop filling up and come to a complete stop.

Of course you can bypass this if you know where the limit switch is, but by doing this you're actively avoiding functional safety.

The blade carries an electrical signal, which the safety system continually monitors. An aluminum brake springs into the spinning blade. This can stop  it in less than 5 milliseconds! This can save many injuries to workers hands and arms. These types of tools are used everyday within industry.
