Training Objective
The aim of this training is to familiarize participants with the safety requirements for machines based on industrial robots. The training presents the process of conformity assessment for robotic workstations, risk assessment of hazards caused by robots, and methods for limiting (reducing) risk. Proper safety design for robotic workstations is based on technical standards that precisely describe safety requirements.
Target Group
This training is aimed at people who, in their professional work, have direct contact with industrial robots—both during the design of workstations and during the use of machines equipped with industrial robots—as well as design engineers of robotic cells, maintenance engineers, and health and safety professionals.
