A
SICK (UK) product story
Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team
Nov 4, 2008
SICK has published Six Steps to a Safe Machine in response to the company's concern that manufacturers will become overwhelmed by 'standards speak' and lose sight of the main objectives in safety.
Six Steps to a Safe Machine has been published in response to imminent changes to the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations and the new standards that are superseding BS EN 954-1.
The free 120-page guide covers: an overview of laws, directives and standards; risk assessment; safe design; protective measures - the implementation of safety measures; residual risk; overall validation; and placing the machine on the market.
Appendices also include operator responsibility, useful links and a glossary.
Six Steps to a Safe Machine forms part of the package of information given to attendees of SICK one-day safety workshops.
