Machine Safety

Machinery safety: fundamental concepts, risk analysis and reference standards (basic module)

Ensuring machine safety is the responsibility of the manufacturer, however, the "user" employer and the individuals involved in the company risk assessment may be held liable in the event of an accident caused by machinery that does not comply with the product directive. Furthermore, in companies, machines are often modified or incorporated into "production" lines that must collectively ensure worker safety. These interventions may invalidate the manufacturer's certification or, in the case of line composition, may require further assessments. The course aims to examine the essential health and safety requirements set forth in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the main reference standards, providing guidance on how to resolve frequently occurring issues within companies that require adaptation measures or new assessment processes. Instructors The course "Machinery Safety: Fundamental Concepts, Risk Analysis, and Reference Standards (Basic Module)" features the contribution of specialized professionals capable of offering participants both theoretical and practical teaching elements. The instructors are safety experts, qualified as trainers pursuant to Ministerial Decree 6/3/2013, with experience in the field of machinery safety.

Machinery safety: risk analysis and reference standards (basic and advanced modules)

Although machinery safety is the responsibility of the manufacturer, the employer who provides the machinery to workers and other parties involved in the risk assessment may be liable for injuries caused by machinery that does not comply with the product directive. Machinery is frequently modified within companies or incorporated into production lines that, as a whole, must ensure worker safety. These modifications, often designed and engineered directly by the "user" company, may invalidate the manufacturer's certification of conformity or, in the case of assembly of production lines, may require further assessments. The course aims to delve deeper into machinery safety, not only by examining the essential health and safety requirements set forth in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, but also by examining the relevant technical standards regarding the characteristics of the safety (and other) systems that must be installed on machinery. This course provides practical guidance on assessing machinery conformity and how to resolve the frequently encountered issues that require adaptation or certification. Instructors: The course "Machinery Safety: Risk Analysis and Reference Standards (Basic Advanced Module)" features specialized professionals who can provide participants with both theoretical and practical teaching elements. The instructors are safety experts, qualified as trainers pursuant to Ministerial Decree 6/3/2013, with experience in machinery safety and the relevant technical regulations on machinery safety.

Recipients

The course "Machinery Safety: Risk Analysis and Reference Standards (Basic Advanced Module)" is intended for anyone wishing to acquire knowledge of machinery safety, risk analysis and assessment, and the identification and selection of safety measures. This includes RSPP/ASPP, employers, managers, designers, and safety consultants. The advanced module will cover and explore the reference standards relating to the characteristics of safety systems (and other features) that must be present and installed on machinery, enabling an assessment of the machine's compliance.

    MACHINES IN OPERATION: safety procedures for using machines and verification of compliance with risk analysis and reference standards (basic and advanced modules)

    Although machine safety is the responsibility of the manufacturer, machines and work equipment are inserted into a constantly evolving work environment. Will they always be compliant with safety requirements? Machines frequently undergo modifications within companies or are incorporated into production lines that, as a whole, must ensure worker safety. These interventions, often designed and engineered directly by the "user" company, may invalidate the manufacturer's certification or, in the case of assembly lines, may require further assessments. The course aims to raise operator awareness of machine safety, not only by examining the essential health and safety requirements set forth in the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, but also by examining the procedures outlined in the use and maintenance manuals.
