Risk Assessment is a critical element in the application of CSA standards in the area of machinery and robotics.
The ISO 14121:2007 standard deals with risk assessment principles as they relate specifically to the safety of machinery. An understanding of these principles is a key element in the effective application of this important safety standard and preventing workplace injuries.
ISO 13849-1:2006 provides guidance for safety system designers and Engineers regarding what they need to understand in order to achieve levels of reliability that are deemed as being appropriate in the circumstance according to the risk assessment process. This information is imperative to those who are tasked with determining the behavior of machinery in the presence of faults or failure within the safety related control systems, subsystems, and subsystem elements.
These International standards provide guidance on the information required to effectively conduct risk assessment and reduce risk as it relates to machinery, protective measures, and safe use. Procedures are described for identifying hazards and estimating and evaluating risk. This one-day seminar is intended to help attendees understand the relationship between risk assessment and risk reduction as it relates to both the
design and use of machinery.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
• Engineers
• Engineering Technicians
• Occupational Health and Safety Professionals
• Plant Managers
• Machinery Control System Designers
• Maintenance Managers
• Maintenance Electricians and Millwrights
• Technically Skilled Safety Professionals
• Personnel responsible for creating PSR Exemptions
