Training Objective
Every machine user is obliged to ensure the safety of their employees while operating machines. Legal regulations impose a number of requirements as well as penalties in the event of failure to provide adequate safety for employees. The aim of this training is to inform and make participants aware of the legal requirements concerning the use of machines in an industrial facility. During the training, participants will learn about the requirements set by regulations regarding minimum machine requirements, the Labor Code, general health and safety provisions, and EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
