Abstract
This article is based on statistics of occured accidents at automatic machines, and on analyses of four different types of automatic equipment in the paper and engineering industry. The statistics showed that correction of disturbances was the most dangerous task at automatic machines. For example in 30 robot accidents two thirds occured, while the operator made a correction. In the cases studied the operators sometimes had to make advanced corrections, which often were dangerous. A summary of different kind of safety problems observed is given, and also some tentative suggestions how to prevent them. The list describes a number of factors to be taken into consideration in the design of automatic systems.
