Safety Concept
An effective safety concept is one which solves your problems using the most ‘intelligent’ solutions in the most cost effective way. We don't believe that machine safeguarding and productivity should be in competition.
Safety Design
The aim of safety design is to reduce or eliminate danger points through detailed planning of the necessary safeguards plus the selection of appropriate technologies.
System Implementation
When you integrate individual machines into a plant or improve the safety of existing machines, usually there is only limited time available.
Safety Validation
Is the defined machine safeguarding correctly implemented? Is the safety related control system of your machinery designed and implemented in accordance with your safety requirements specification? International Standards such as ISO 13849, IEC 62061 and IEC 61508 demand validation of safety systems independent of the design function. Validation is essential to prove that your machinery is safe.
International Compliance
Exporters and machine operators face complex compliance and legal issues whenever they import machinery from one country to another. Machinery that complies with the regulations and standards of one country may not conform to the regulations of another.
Plant Assessment
In today's competitive world, production plants are subject to constant change. New products mean that machines have to be adapted.
Lock Out Tag Out System
There are many energy sources that can potentially pose a risk to industrial employees. Therefore, US Regulation 29 CFR 1910.147 and European Workplace Regulations require ensuring that machinery and other work equipment is isolated from its energy sources, and secured in a way to avoid accidentally re-energisation.
Inspection of Safeguarding Devices
It is essential that electrosensitive protective equipment (for example: light curtains, safety gate systems, etc.) is properly configured and installed and undergoes regular inspection. This is a legal requirement of various national directives and regulations.
