Avoiding Common Machine Safeguarding Pitfalls - An Overview of Selecting and Installing Machine and Process Safeguards

Join us for a two-hour audio conference on machine safeguarding. The conference will look at the importance of conducting a risk assessment in order to create a proper guarding solution that allows for safety (compliance with the applicable standards) and productivity. This includes risk reduction strategies based on the hierarchy of controls that point to the proper interface, use, and installation of guards and safety devices.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify how to conduct a risk assessment.
• Recognize which guarding technique to use based on the information gained from the risk assessment.
• List the types of safety control interfaces to use based on the information gained from the risk assessment.
