Abstract
The use of work equipment generates substantial hazards for people involved in their operation and maintenance. The scope of improvements in the field should be selected with an eye to eliminating hazards and minimizing the impact of harmful, dangerous and onerous factors caused by the use of machinery. In order to develop solutions, implement them successfully and assess the results, it is advisable to apply the SMART criteria. Such criteria, which are widely known and commonly used in quality engineering, allow for the identification of crucial characteristics of specific technical and organizational solutions with a view to assuring safety.
