Machinery Safety for Maintenance Technicians

The aim of the course is to enable delegates with a maintenance background to develop an understanding of why safety related controls systems are implemented on machinery and how to maintain and fault find on said systems, the methodology that should be considered and how the use of standards and guidance documents can assist in this process. Over the course of the two days our Pilz Machinery Safety Expert will educate participants on fault finding techniques and commonly used approaches on safety related control systems. Delegates will then be able to put their new skills into practice through a series of hands-on exercises including practical wiring and fault finding on safety relay based circuits.

Day 1

• Introduction
• Structure designated/harmonised standards (e.g. BS 14200-2023)
• Basic of Risk Assessment
• Introduction to safety components
• Basics of Safety related parts of the control system (13849-1)
• Practical wiring exercises

Day 2

• Electrical safety of machines (60204-1)
• PUWER relating to maintenance
• LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out) for safe machine isolation procedures
• Practical Fault finding

Beneficial for...

• Maintenance Engineers
• Maintenance Technicians
• Maintenance Leads
• Maintenance Managers
• Any role invovled with safety related fault finding

This training course is certified by two acknowledged test organisations:

Equivalent to 10.5 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 attending this course will receive 10.5 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 is proof that the delegate has learnt fault finding techniques for safety related controls, practically wired safety related control systems and learnt how maintenance and fault finding can affect this.
