Training Objective
The aim of this training is to familiarize participants with the requirements for conducting machine risk assessments, legal regulations, and the responsibility for maintaining machine safety in the workplace. During the course, participants will become acquainted with the process of machine conformity assessment, hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk evaluation. The purpose of the risk assessment process is to identify machines for which actions need to be taken to reduce the hazards present.
Target Group
This training is intended for machine users and all individuals who come into contact with machines in the workplace—including those working directly with machines, as well as engineering and management staff responsible for machine safety. The training presents the machine safety assessment procedure in a simple and transparent manner.
