Safety equipment for machine tools, in particular for a moulding circle saw and/or edge glue machine, incorporating a machining tool used for machining a machine tool, comprising:a detection device designed to detect a hazard situation of a machine tool operator;a hazard reduction device, which is designed to initiate a safety measure to reduce the risk of injury to the operator when receiving a hazard signal characterising a hazard situation of the operator;characterized by:-the detection device includes an imaging device linked to an image evaluation unit for three-dimensional detection of objects in a surveillance area, and the image evaluation unit;o is trained to identify a human body part, in particular a hand, by comparing real-time recorded images with pre-recorded pattern contours and/or patterns and/or patterns; ando is set up to generate a first position signal based on the recognised body part, the first position signal representing an absolute position of the human body part in the monitoring area or a relative position of a human body part to the processing tool,-an electronic signal processing device is provided which is linked to the detection device and the hazard reduction device by signal technology and is trained to determine from the first position signal whether a hazard situation, in particular, there is an overrun of a predetermined minimum level between a body part of the user and the processing tool, andis that such a hazard situation exists to send the hazard signal to the risk reduction device.
