Safety Engineering

In order to protect people and machinery in UK/Europe manufacturing environment it is necessary to implement functional safety in a proper manner this is a legal requirement by the machinery directive.

Our engineers are certificated and have modified and installed safety systems on a variety of machinery in the steel processing and automotive industries

Who is responsible?

You are responsible that the safety system meets or continues to meet the standards when you:-

• Modify a Safety System
• Implement a Safety System
• Relocate a Machine
• Change a Machines Function

Modifying Your System

When modifying or implementing a safety system it is necessary to follow a recorded design procedure. That procedure should encompasses:-

1. Risk Assessment
2. Equipment Selection
3. Safety System Design
4. Reliability Calculation
5. Testing
6. Maintenance Regime

ISO 13849

ISO 13849 is a safety standard which deals with safety-related design principles of control systems to establish different safety performance levels.

IEC62061

Functional safety of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems, is the machinery specific implementation of IEC/EN 61508.
