Comprehensive view of potential hazards for higher levels of safety and profitability I TÜV Rheinland

Professional Safety Checks Reduce Costs and Risks

Our holistic view of potential hazards ensures high levels of safety and economic efficiency of your company's machines, plants and lines. A professional safety inspection and assessment significantly contributes to preventing occupational accidents and production downtimes. With our Production Line Assessments (PLA), you receive these services in a compact and time-saving form. A PLA increases the efficiency of your plants and lines.

Our PLAs provide expert assessments that help you mitigate the risks of downtime, costly repairs, sick leave and other financial risks such as continuing to pay for wages and compensation that can occur by using machinery. At the same time, you comply with legal requirements and can focus on your core tasks.

Benchmarking, which can be integrated into every audit on request, shows you further potential for optimization. In addition, the evaluation systems according to your internal specifications enable systematic reporting.

Trust in our expertise and gain security in two ways: safety of your workforce and processes as well as security regarding regulatory authorities or even insurers.

With us, you can rely on professionally implemented protective measures to achieve the maximum efficiency of your production facilities; increase performance, productivity and satisfaction of your employees; and ultimately improve your image as an employer.

Immediate information - Our committee work

Thanks to our extensive network of international experts, we have an overview of the legal safety requirements in various sales markets. And the best - we are active in various standardization committees in Europe, America and Asia and thus have always the latest information available. Thanks to this knowledge, we can implement new requirements professionally as soon as they are published.

  • In Germany we are in the Experience Exchange Machinery Directive (EK9) and its working groups (AK9.xx) for various categories of machinery.
  • In Europe we are in the HC (Horizontal Committee) or the VG (Vertical Group) for the different product categories according to the Machinery Directive.
  • In America we are active in the NFPA as well as the ANSI.

Our experts either participate directly in the development of international IEC and ISO standards or are members of national mirror committees such as DIN, EN, CEI, UL, CSA, JP and GB. Many new requirements for robots and autonomous vehicles have emerged there, especially in recent years.
