UCPD (University Certificate of Professional Development) for Machinery Safety Training Course
Ensure compliance with European Directives and UK legislation on machinery safety
Our five-day University Certified Professional Development (UCPD) course on European (EU & UK) Machinery Safety requirements gives you an in-depth overview of the legislative requirements regarding the supply of machinery in Europe. Largely based on the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, you will learn about the scope of the legislation, certification procedures and essential health and safety requirements (EHSRs). You’ll also be introduced to the associated European standards.
What you'll learn:
✔ Learn about the legislative requirements regarding the supply of machinery in Europe
✔ Understand the differences between UKCA marking and CE marking
✔ An awareness of PUWER requirements for design of equipment
✔ Gain key knowledge about EN 60204-1 - Safety-related design of electrical equipment of machinery – basics and verification of electrical equipment for machinery
Starting with an introduction to supply-side and use-side legislation for machinery safety and enforcement, you’ll also learn about the general principles of CE marking plus product groups and CE-marking requirements for machinery. The differences between UKCA marking and CE-marking are also covered. You’ll also be taken through Essential Health and Safety Requirements for machinery: Sections 1-3, an Introduction to Safety of Machinery standards, and Introduction to EN ISO 12100 General Principles for Design - Risk assessment and risk reduction.
Day two starts with PUWER requirements for design of equipment and we’ll also explore safety-related design of machinery - requirements/specification, design, verification, and validity. You’ll also learn how to assess machinery safety non-compliances and safety when integrating and upgrading machinery.
By the end of day 3, you’ll understand the basics of standard safety-related design solutions and the Safety of Machinery standards - Mechanical. You’ll also be aware of further sources of guidance relating to safety-related design of machinery, other than regulations and harmonised standards.
EN 60204-1 is the focus of day 4 and you’ll improve your knowledge of safety-related design of electrical equipment of machinery and verification of electrical equipment for machinery according to EN 60204-1.
Finally, we give you an introduction to machinery safety and explore a virtual reality package.
Boost your CV with a UCPD (NVQ level 4 qualification) by successfully completing self-study, keynote lectures, tutorials, and a follow-up project.
This course is for anyone involved in the safety-related design of machinery (including upgrade, integration, or modification of machinery), such as design engineers, project managers, engineering managers, and quality managers across all technologies (mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and safety-related software).
