Fundamentals of Machinery Safety

In this training course, you will acquire in-depth knowledge about technical safety in industry. You can improve your competence in the key areas that are particularly relevant for machinery safety. The focus will be particularly on the subjects of CE marking, protection methods and safety components as well as design and validation of control systems in accordance with EN ISO 13849 and EN IEC 62061. And all this will be on the basis of standards and laws that promote machinery safety.

• International and local legislation and safety standards
• Machinery Directive including CE marking
  - Machinery Directive requirements
  - Relevant European legislation
  - Essential health and safety requirements
  - Important standards (harmonised with the Machinery Directive and other directives)
• Risk assessment
  - Limits of machinery
  - Applicable standards for machine risk assessment
• Introduction to protection methods and systems
• Electrical safety (EN IEC 60204/NFPA 79): general requirements for the electrical safety of machines
• Lock out / tag out – controlling hazardous energy sources
  - LoTo process overview
  - LoTo procedure
• Safety design
  - Safety components and protection methods
  - Standards for mechanical safeguards
• Robot safety
  - Assessment and safeguards
  - Applicable standards and laws
• Safety-related parts of controllers
• Introduction to standards relating to safety controllers EN ISO 13849 and EN IEC 62061

Your optimum route to qualification:

• Introduction to machinery safety
• Fundamentals of machinery safety
• Electrical Safety in Industrial Installations – IEC 60204
• CMSE - Certified machinery safety expert

• Design engineers
• Project managers
• Planners

The training “Introduction to Machinery Safety” could be of interest to you.

This training course is certified by two acknowledged test organisations:

• Equivalent to 14 hours of CPD
• City & Guilds Assured

On successful completion of the course delegates will receive both a City & Guilds paper certificate and a City & Guilds Assured Digital Credential - a City & Guilds Assured Digital Credential is essentially a digital certificate, but unlike a paper certificate digital credentials are easily shareable, verifiable and trackable all in one click.

Delegates will also receive 14 hours of CPD points. Continuing Professional Development - usually abbreviated to CPD - is the intentional maintenance and development of the knowledge and skills needed to perform in a professional context. CPD hours (or points) are a way of measuring time and quality of learning. Points can be collected in a personal portfolio allowing participants to track their professional development and progression. CPD-accredited training can assist participants in honing their current skills, developing them to a new level or it could mean learning entirely new ones.

Completion of this course shows the delegate has gained knowledge of technical safety in industry including protection methods, safety components, design and validation of control systems.
