The standards regarding functional safety and relevant laws and directives demand that people and organizations performing responsible (accountable) tasks during relevant life cycle phases of a machine must achieve and prove required competencies.
In this training, students will learn how current standards dictate the selection, assembly, installation, validation, and maintenance of safety devices and components to reduce hazards from machinery and ensure the safety of people and the environment. Practical examples will demonstrate possibilities regarding machine protection.
This training will also cover safety topics, such as: redundancy, testing, distance calculations, assigning required level of risk reduction as PL, monitoring moveable guard positions, and fault avoidance for relevant life cycle phases.
After completing this course, students should understand and be able to use ISO 12100, ISO 13849-1/2, IEC 60204-1 and other relevant machine functional safety standards.
Target Group
Machine technicians, application engineers, safety specialists and those responsible for repairing and maintaining machine safety should attend this course.
