Machinery safety seminars focus on practical application
1 min read
SICK UK is hosting a series of hands-on safety standards workshops across the UK to help engineers get to grips with the new machinery safety regulations that come into force in December.
Details and provisions of the new BS EN 13849 and BS EN 62061 regulations are complex, says the company. "While consultants write white papers on computer controlled and integrated layers of safety, and conferences produce programmes on the detail of the new legislation, sub-clause by sub-clause, the engineer has to implement it at a machine and plant level," SICK safety product manager Seb Strutt.
There are events in June, September and November. The one-day workshop introduces engineers to the two safety control standards and gives a working understanding of their content and application. Worksheets with action cues will keep the overview of each standard within easy reach, while worked examples help make complicated issues digestible and a unique software tool for probability level calculation will be available free to delegates.
Delegates will require some knowledge of safety related control systems and the course is specifically relevant to Control Engineers, Maintenance Engineers, Design Engineers and Project Managers.
