This training program provides
an introduction to the complex
subject of safety engineering in
industrial machines and systems.
The aim is to make participants
more aware of the problems in
the design aspects of safety
engineering and help them
understand safety engineering
equipment and hazard analysis
methods.
The training program is based
on an amended version of the
EC Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC, which came into
force on 29 December 2009.
Until then, 98/37/EC was valid.
There is no transitional period.
How is the overall performance
level of a technical safety
measure determined? The
training program explains
concepts such as probability of
failure (POF), diagnostic
coverage (DC), common cause
failure (CCF), redundancy and
diversity. There is also a detailed
explanation of all the
components for safety
equipment.
