The footswitch 14a, 14b has an operative surface 15a, 15b and is configured to be actuated in response to pressure of a foot or part of a foot upon the operative surface 15a, 15b. A guard member 16 is provided which is movable between a guarding position and a non-guarding position. In the guarding position, the guard member 16 is configured to overlie the operative surface 15a, 15b of the footswitch to inhibit actuation of the footswitch 14a, 14b. In the non-guarding position, the guard member 16 is configured to be separated from the operative surface 15a, 15b to allow actuation of the footswitch 14a, 14b. A validation element 24 is configured in response to movement of the guard member into the non-guarding position to validate actuation of the footswitch.
