SAFETY ENGINEERING SERVICES

Optimum safety from the perspective of machinery manufacturers and operators

Safety Expertise from the Practitioner

We also have development expertise in the field of functional safety and consistently comply with the safety standards IEC 61508, ISO 26262, ISO 16590, IEC 62061 and ISO 13849. We support you in the certification and development of customised electronic / electronically programmable safety components.
As a result, there is also a regular exchange with notified bodies (listed test centres, e.g. TÜV, professional associations or specialist groups).

Safety for machinery manufacturers

Manufacturing plant and machinery must be safe in accordance with applicable law. Placing machinery on the market therefore carries a high level of responsibility. Technical regulations and safety standards support the design of safe technology. It is also important for the designs to be suitably documented so that safety can be verified if necessary.

Early, consistent consideration of safety-related and economic aspects is essential - starting in the development phase. This is the only way to meaningfully combine aspects such as inherently safe design and the application of innovative technologies. Wanting to validate a finished machine with active safety components at some later stage is not the way to guarantee machinery that is cost-optimised, legally sound and available.

  Not sure what safety standards exist or which versions are current? Wondering which regulations and standards may be helpful if there are no safety standards for your specific applications?

  Ask about our safety consulting agreement: we evaluate your machines and the technologies used. In doing so, we consider changes in directives, national law and safety standards. We tell you what this means specifically for your machines and organisation and whether technical adjustments are necessary. Under the safety consulting agreement, a competent contact person is always available to answer all your questions regarding the safety of your machinery.

Safety for machine operators

Machine operators have a high level of responsibility, because adequate workplace safety must be guaranteed in the interests of employees and the environment.

Our experts come from a practical background and have undergone intensive training in machine and plant safety. "Safety not only on paper, but also in real-life application" is the motto. We help to safeguard your occupational safety organisation and ensure safety at your workplaces: in a practical and legally compliant manner.

Fit for practice

Well qualified employees are essential if work is to be legally compliant and cost-optimised. Our safety seminars are designed to qualify and certify your staff in current matters relating to machine safety and occupational health and safety. In the one-day seminars, participants receive detailed information and precise instructions. Our seminar instructors are experienced engineers who are absolute experts in their field.

As technology progresses, so do safety standards also change. Get fit for practice, because any business that provides products or services to the market is liable!
Choose between our general seminars for business or hire us to exclusively train your employees. We would be happy to work out a customised plan with you.
