UCPD (University Certificate of Professional Development) for Machinery Safety Training Course
This course is for a 5 day University Certified Professional Development (UCPD) training on European (EU & UK) Machinery Safety requirements. It explains the legislative requirements regarding the supply of machinery in Europe, largely based on the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. It discusses the scope of the legislation, the certification procedures and the essential health and safety requirements (EHSRs) and introduces the associated European standards.
Course Testimonial: 'This was a very informative training session that covered all bases with the right amount of detail and supporting info. The training experience was direct and interesting, the trainer was easy to speak to and could be asked questions at any time. All-in a good experience and would recommend.'
