# Safety

Robpod Studio is a tool for programming industrial and collaborative robots. A robot is heavy and extremely powerful regardless of its speed. A pause or long stop in movement can be followed by a fast hazardous movement. Even if a pattern of movement is predicted, a change in operation can be triggered by an external signal resulting in an unexpected movement.

Therfore:

1. All general safety regulations based on your local country must be respected while programming the robot (i.e. Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and ISO/TS 15066).
2. Robot specific instructions provided by robot constructors must be respected. 

Robpod Studio can execute motion programs on the robot or perform motion operation. In the following guide all actions that trigger a robot motion are marked with <img src="/files/wRrVkNBOhWBwfbKQR1sb" alt="" data-size="line"> warning signal.
