You could also take a look at EN 1088:1995+A2:2008 "Safety of machinery - Interlocking devices associated with guards - Principles for design and selection" (Harmonised) and EN1050 - the basic machinery risk assessment standard (not a lot of use, but it might help)
This might also help: http://www.machinebuilding.net/ta/t0178.htm (1st to come up in a Yahoo search on "EN1088") BTW most modern Machinery Directive Harmonised Stds include a relevant risk assessment matrix with the important points listed.

My guess is it will depend on the risk and the severity of that risk that you are trying to avoid. Regards, Josh Joshua Wiseman Taylor Company A division of Carrier Commercial Refrigeration, Inc From: Derek Walton [mailto:lfresea...@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2012 5:55 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Light curtains Hi All, I'm faced with helping a friend work through an OSHA finding that requires the fitting of light curtains on several machines in a metal fab shop. Several of these machines were never designed to have light curtains, but OSHA wants them. So... Can anyone point me to resources specifically regarding what the machine should do if the light curtain is activated by a hand etc. Is terminating power to anything making movement happen sufficient? I hope this is not off the list topic list.....
