Training Objective
Every machine user is obligated to ensure the safety of their employees during machine operation. Legal regulations impose a number of requirements and penalties in the event of failure to provide adequate safety for employees.
One of the requirements for safe machine maintenance is to perform an initial inspection before commissioning the machine and periodic safety inspections.
The aim of the training is to familiarize participants with the requirements for initial and periodic machine inspections, along with examples of nonconformities. During the training, participants will become acquainted with the minimum requirements that must be verified during both the initial and periodic inspection of machines.
Target Group
The target group for this training includes people who authorize employees to operate machines (Production Managers, Plant Managers, Directors, Health and Safety personnel) or are owners of facilities where machines are used.
