Risk-free machinery procurement

What do you need to consider when commissioning new or modified machines? What safety aspects must be taken into account during machinery procurement? In this training course, the entire lifecycle is observed – from the decision to make an investment in a new or used machine through to the decommissioning or disposal of a machine. Another area of focus is how to draw up specification documents from a safety viewpoint. You will learn more about the aspects you need to consider when using machinery at new locations. This is especially important when a machine is to be commissioned in another country or under a different legal structure (placing on the market).
