A safety system for an industrial press having a moveable section ( 30 ), the safety means including: a laser emitting means ( 1 ) for emitting a continuous planar laser beam ( 9 ) having a generally constant lateral width; a light receiving means ( 22 ) for receiving the laser beam and for detecting when an object intersects the laser beam; and a control means for stopping or preventing movement of the moveable section of the press when the receiving means detects that the laser beam has intersected an object.
