Firstly, guarding is a method used to lower a risk by physically separating the source of the risk from the object at risk and is considered an Engineering control method in the "Hierarchy of Controls" of risk. Guarding Principles are a philosophy of how to separate the risk and provide guidelines to types of guards to use, the design of the guards and how effective the guarding will be (ie. how much they will lower the risk). Examples: Pool fence guidelines for protecting a swimming pool. Design principles for road barriers to separate traffic on a road. Legal requirements for machinery guarding around equipment in a fatory.
