This invention relates to a method for managing active safety for an automatically operating machine comprising a work surface and a work tool displaced according to a pre-established work program. The method consists of dividing () the work surface into several zones and, during the work program cycle and in response to detection () of an operator's intrusion into a first zone when the tool is active in a second zone, also consists of carrying out at least one of the following actions: keeping () the tool's programmed displacement at the normal speed if the tool's displacement is programmed in a zone not adjacent to the first one, keeping () the tool's programmed displacement at reduced speed if the tool's displacement is programmed in a zone adjacent to the first one and modifying () the work program if the tool's displacement is programmed in the first zone so that the tool's work can be continued in a zone other than the first one.
