Over 40 years of experience
in training and consulting,
courses in 40 languages, over
40,000 participants each year,
and approx. 230 ongoing
national and international
projects with 200 experienced
trainers and consultants speak
for themselves. Our trainers
place their wealth of expertise
at your disposal and prepare
you or your employees for the
specific safety responsibilities
in the best possible manner.
Our web-based training course
Safety Engineering is ideal for
independent and flexible
learning.
In addition to the various
seminars on safety technology,
we also provide on-site support
to our customers.
For example, SMS Meer GmbH
in Mönchengladbach with the
seminar series on the new
EC Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC and the new
standard EN ISO 13 849-1:
“Although the specifications
have been implemented by the
EC machinery directory for some
time, questions still arise in
day-to-day work. They must be
answered and all employees
must be at the same level and
have the same understanding
that was the objective of the
seminars. For example, the
discussion of the details took
quite a lot of time, which
resulted in very high satisfaction
ratings in the seminar
evaluation.
Many participants wanted
follow-up events, particularly
on DIN EN ISO 13849. The varied
global relevance of safety
engineering issues now requires
a broad range of expertise.
It is almost impossible for design
or sales departments to keep
up-to-date. SMS Meer now has a
new central department for
strategic and operational
support for product areas and
can provide design and sales
departments with exactly the
training they need. The
significant global changes
necessitate regular broad
training courses, and keeping
the overall qualifications of the
employees up to date.”

Or Stanzwerk Salzwedel about
the project “Supervisory support
in obtaining the CE mark per
MD 2006/42/EC”:
Stanzwerk Salzwedel produces
assembly systems for building
operating equipment, and
requires CE marks for these
machines. This is subject
to the EC Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
Festo Training and Consulting
supported the company during
the conformity process for an
assembly system for motors,
from drawing up a risk
assessment to issuing the
declaration of conformity.
The team listed specific hazards
on the machine and the resulting
risks were documented in the
risk assessment. Then, specific
technical solutions – both in
terms of design and functionality
– were found and documented.
The components used were
checked and documented. In the
operating instructions, the team
also described and explained
possible residual risks.
The implemented technical
control solutions were reviewed
in accordance with the new
standard 13849-1 and their
safety engineering functions
were demonstrated
mathematically.
Safety is always more than simply the hardware and the
appropriate circuit diagrams. Safety starts at the concept stage,
for example by identifying necessary performance levels.
For comprehensive training on the subject of safety,
Festo Didactic provides numerous courses on various topics.
Knowledge provides greater safety
