Introduction to Machinery Safety

This course introduces the regulatory requirements and the supporting standards associated with the safety-related design of machinery. The course introduce the certification requirements and the design requirements, which have a significant influence on the design and therefore cost of machinery. The two-day course covers the same subject matter as the one-day course but the inclusion of exercises and activities produces a much better understanding and retention of knowledge.
