We suggest that you obtain and review a copy of the ANSI/RIA National Safety Standard for Industrial
Robots and Robot Systems (ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012). You can obtain this document from the Robotic
Industries Association (RIA) at the following address:

Ultimately, well-trained personnel are the best safeguard against accidents and damage that can result
from improper operation of the equipment. The customer is responsible for providing adequately
trained personnel to operate, program, and maintain the equipment. NEVER ALLOW UNTRAINED
PERSONNEL TO OPERATE, PROGRAM, OR REPAIR THE EQUIPMENT!
We recommend approved Yaskawa training courses for all personnel involved with the operation,
programming, or repair of the equipment.
