4 Day Machinery Safety Course (City & Guilds Assured)

Few engineers would be prepared to state that they are fully familiar with all aspects of the regulations, standards and risk management technologies relating to machinery safety. But this four day course from Pilz Automation Technology presents all of this material in the form of a single training package suitable for electrical and mechanical engineers and engineering managers. In addition to classroom sessions there are also practical exercises and examinations.

•     CE marking requirements covering Machinery, EMC and Low-Voltage Directives.
•     Harmonised standards structure
•     Test on modules completed throughout the day

Day 2

•     BS EN 60204-1 Safety of Machinery - Electrical equipment of machinery
•     EN ISO 13849-1 Safety of machinery - Safety related parts of control systems
•     Principles and aspects of machine guarding
•     Tests on modules completed throughout the day

Day 3

•     Practical wiring exercised to the categories of the standard for E-stop circuits
•     Practical wiring session on guard switches, 2 hand control systems etc, including fault indication and monitoring

This training course is certified by two acknowledged test organisations:

Equivalent to 28 hours of CPD

City & Guilds Assured

On successful completion of the course delegates will receive both a City & Guilds paper certificate and a - a City & Guilds Assured Digital Credential is essentially a digital certificate, but unlike a paper certificate digital credentials are easily shareable, verifiable and trackable all in one click.

Delegates will also receive 28 hours of . Continuing Professional Development - usually abbreviated to CPD - is the intentional maintenance and development of the knowledge and skills needed to perform in a professional context. CPD hours (or points) are a way of measuring time and quality of learning. Points can be collected in a personal portfolio allowing participants to track their professional development and progression. CPD-accredited training can assist participants in honing their current skills, developing them to a new level or it could mean learning entirely new ones.

Completion of this course shows the delegate has acquired the knowledge to understand the complete Machinery Safety Lifecycle from design, modification through to decommissioning.
