Machine Safety
Our expertise, your independence
Machine safety is about protecting people from risks when using machines. This requires a thorough understanding of both technical and organizational aspects. We guide organizations through the entire process: from risk assessment to CE marking and training, always in line with the European Machinery Directive and relevant standards.
What is machine safety?
Machine safety includes all measures that are necessary to make the use of machines safe for operators, maintenance personnel and bystanders. This includes:
-
Hazard recognition and assessment
-
Risk reduction through technical and organizational measures
-
Conformity with standards such as EN ISO 12100, EN ISO 13849-1/-2, and EN 62061
-
CE marking and the associated technical documentation
A good machine safety policy not only increases safety, but also the efficiency and reliability of production.
Our solution
We offer independent, tailor-made consulting that helps companies to:
-
Correctly identify risks
-
Define the right safety measures and safety functions
-
Structure documentation according to the Machinery Directive
-
Train employees to independently apply machine safety principles
-
Make sure the safety measures remain in shape during their operation.
We also ensure coordination between machine, process and explosion safety, so that implementation of machines in process installations are also addressed correctly.
Our Process
01
Inventory & risk analysis
- We start with a thorough risk analysis according to EN ISO 12100.
02
Determine safety measures
- Based on risks, we define the necessary safety measures. These can be passive like fencing to more active like safety functions according to the Machine Safety standards IEC 62061 (SIL) and ISO 13849 (PLr).
03
Documentation & conformity
- We help draw up the technical documentation and CE marking.
- We set-up requirements and validation documentation.
04
Training & coaching
- We train your team to carry out risk analyses and conformity assessments themselves in the future.
- We help you to keep the safety measures in shape during the machine’s mission time.
05
Evaluation & screening
- If desired, we carry out audits on existing installations or files.
