INTRODUCTION FOR MACHINE SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT TRAINING
The purpose of this course is to provide manufacturing and its maintenance staffs with the knowledge to tackle machinery safety control problems at a basic and practical level whilst following the best available international standards.
The training begins with an overview of machinery safety issues, introducing the concepts of hazard identification and risk reduction. The training highlights the major international standards that are used to support compliance with Malaysia regulations and uses these standards as a basis for the design procedures. This approach will assist industry staffs to follow best practices for safety system applications in industry plant is situated such as EN954–1, EN13849, EN62061 and ANSI/ISO 12100:2012
The training looks at the risk assessment processes used to identify hazards and to quantify the risks inherent in a machine. This enables engineers to evaluate the need for risk reduction and hence define the safety functions to be provided by safety related electrical controls. The training then introduces the concepts of safety categories as defined by safety standard and illustrates the principles of failsafe design, fault tolerance and self-testing. With design procedures established the training now provides an introduction to machinery protection devices such as guards, enclosures with interlocks and guard monitoring relays, locking systems, safety mats, photo electric and electro sensitive principles and the application of light curtains.
The training continues with a study of Safety Control System techniques. Application examples such as guard door interlocking applications, two hand controls, muting, area protection of robot installations and motion detection are then discussed.
