Description
The safety related part of the control system, is the brains, it's the intelligence, it's the part of your machine that will decide, if something is safe for you to interact with or not.
BEST MOMENTS
· 1 - Can they operate in the environment that you are using it?
· 2 - A fault in the hardware doesn’t create a hazardous situation.
· 3 - Errors in the control system logic do not lead to hazardous situations.
· 4 - Reasonably foreseeable human error during operation does not lead to hazardous situations.

Description
The work of someone who is interested in improving safety of machinery isn't one, where you identify an issue, report it and then it smoothly gets done with no resistance or pushback. - If only life was that straight forward.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
You will get opposition, and challenge, from curious questioning to outright disagreement and everything in between, sometimes from the same person in the same conversation.
BEST MOMENTS
Are there people who don't seem to do very much, but have a lot of influence in the important decisions around safety at your place of work?

Description
Once you've got hold of your maintenance manual, and the type of information you should expect to see contained within it
I'm going to cover the first 8 area's that you might expect to see in the manual, not all of it will apply to your machine, but it will give you a good indication of what to expect, and it is up to you to either provide it, if you are a manufacturer or request it, if you are the buyer of the machine. This episode has been made to serve both.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· As a manufacturer you must state how the machine must be used, it sounds obvious, but you must state it, and be precise about the purpose of the machine.
· Once the operators are trained in the safe use of the machine, you can then think about what if any residual risks are around the machine.

Description
Machines operate in different modes, and there are key characteristics of changing these modes of operation if you want to ensure operator safety.
There are at least 4 key requirements that must be in place before, you change the mode of operation of a machine, and I'm going to cover them in more detail.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
When considering mode selection think about how are you going to disable the normal hazards and control the machine in a safe manner.
Remember that all 4 of these must be in place before you put it into service, this is not meant to be an order of priority but a means to help you remember the key requirements.
Think D.I.C.E.

Description
There are multiple types of emergency stops on the market and today, I want to discuss the over-use of shrouded emergency stops on installations, and where it’s inappropriate to install one.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Location - can you change where it is, so that it does not get inadvertently knocked?
Alternative direction - to think about how it is mounted, and the way in which it is facing.
Size of pushbutton - can you change it to a smaller size so that it does not get knocked?
Type - can it be changed for a wire rope style or something equally suitable?

E is for Exposure
A is for adjacent hazards
R is to recognise hazardous situations
L is for the Layout of the machine.

Description
This is going to be a deep dive into what a guard is, the required characteristics, the types, how to choose and where to get more information, for creating your guard design.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Guards come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and are defined as providing protection by a physical barrier, some are obvious and some are not so.
A guard doesn't necessarily have to be painted a certain colour, like red or yellow.
BEST MOMENTS
There are 6 key characteristics that all guards must have, without anyone of these it simply can't be classed as a guard.
Guard physical barrier, designed as part of the machine to provide protection
NOTE 1 A guard may act either
⎯ alone, in which case it is only effective when “closed” (for a movable guard) or
“securely held in place” (for a fixed guard), or
⎯ in conjunction with an interlocking device with or without guard locking, in which case protection is ensured whatever the position of the guard.

Description
How to approach hazards and apply the hierarchy of controls
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· When faced with a hazard on a machine, it is really important to know how to manage those hazards.
· However there are times when the machine cannot run slower or have forces that a below hazardous limits and for it to function as a machine due to commercial reasons.
BEST MOMENTS
· The last two of the hierarchy of controls are really the last resort to be used as a primary control but will often be used to enhance other control measures.
· The machinery directive or regulations uses the three step method, and the hierarchy of controls can be broken down

· Try and avoid technical jargon, by making the layout clear and easy to understand.
BEST MOMENTS
· Drafting information is a fundamental part of the design of the machine
· “sensorial saturation”, which is when too many alarms are triggered at the same time

User responsibilities, and what you must do as an owner and provider of the work equipment.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· There are many thing to consider when providing, or using equipment for work, and with that comes a lot of responsibility and also legal obligations.
· First of all you have to recognise, that you as a provider of the equipment, are duty bound to ensure that your employee's are safe.
· As a provider of work equipment, you must inspect it after it has been installed and before being put into service for the first time, or assembled at new location.
BEST MOMENTS
· You cannot discharge this responsibility onto the manufacturers, you as a provider of this equipment must understand these obligations.
· If you employ five or more people you shall record the risk assessment and any significant findings.
· The aim of the training is to close the gap between what they know now, and what level required to operate the machinery,

The 10 essential characteristics that need to be present on the declaration of conformity
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· One of the most important documents you will look over, is the Declaration of Conformity.
· It's not something to be shoved in a drawer without reading it
BEST MOMENTS
· Once you know what to look for it is easy to spot something that might give you problems further down the line
· As a receiver of the equipment it is essential that you are diligent in your choice of machinery, if you get this wrong then you could end up with something that is not as safe and compliant as you first thought.

Description
How to approach risk assessments for machinery safety.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· The very first thing we must do is to is get a feel for the machine
· How you determine where a score sits in relation to the level of risk, is your risk profile.
BEST MOMENTS
· If the process of carrying out a risk assessment creates a situation of fear of challenge, or confusion, then it can end up doing more harm than good.
· A subjective risk assessment might identify unrealistic scenarios that are not foreseeable or practicable
· The risk assessment will determine what that initial level of risk is, and the evaluation will determine whether or not to proceed to the next level
· By the very nature of having a group of people assess a hazard, it removes the subjectivity from the issue.
