Abstract. In this work we propose an approximation scheme to trans-
form a general stochastic hybrid system (SHS) into a SHS without forced
transitions due to spatial guards. Such switching mechanisms are re-
placed by spontaneous transitions with state-dependent transition in-
tensities (jump rates). The resulting switching diffusion process with
