Is it acceptable by today's standard, to have moving cylinders out in the open, as long as we do a risk assessment and prove that there is no chance of physical injury to anyone?

If so, is there a certain number of newtons or m/s that qualifies automatically as unsafe? or is it based only on the risk assessment?
 
Short answer, No!

in any machine, all moving parts must be guarded in such a manner to prevent any item from freely coming into contact with the moving parts.

I cannot cite book, chapter and verse, but that is the simplified version.
I hate to say this, but we are in a lawsuit happy country and bubba wants some time off.

if I am wrong, someone please correct me.
