Introduction to CE/UKCA Marking & PUWER for Safety of Machinery Training Course
Ensure Machinery Safety and Compliance with our Introduction to CE/UKCA Marking & PUWER Course
We start with the basics so you can understand why machinery safety matters and the legal requirements surrounding it. Whether you're a manufacturer, designer, engineer, or manager, ensuring compliance with CE/UKCA marking and PUWER is essential to avoid legal risks and create a safer working environment.
✔ Gain an understanding of legislation for machinery safety and enforcement
✔ Learn about the differences between UKCA and CE Marking
✔ Understand the PUWER requirements for equipment design
✔ Gain the knowledge to design and influence machinery that prioritises safety
Next, we explore the fundamental principles of machinery safety. You’ll learn about key legislation, including CE-marking requirements, the differences between UKCA and CE marking, and the essential health and safety standards that apply to machinery design. Through interactive discussions, real-world examples, and group activities, you gain a clear understanding of what’s required.
You’ll explore PUWER requirements for design of equipment, safety-related design solutions, and industry standards, equipping you with the knowledge to assess machinery safety effectively. If you choose the 3-day course, you'll also get hands-on experience applying these principles in practical sessions.
Throughout the training, you’ll engage with professionals from different industries, share insights, and complete group activities. By the end of the course, you’ll have the confidence to implement compliance measures in your organisation, ensuring machinery is both legally compliant and designed with safety in mind.
Discover the essential legislative and safety requirements for machinery design, marking, and instructions in our comprehensive training course. Choose between a 2-day option with interactive presentations, group activities, and individual exercises, or a 3-day option that includes hands-on practical sessions on day 3.
This course is ideal for machinery manufacturers, designers, engineers, assemblers, and those modifying the safety-related design of machinery. It also benefits design engineers, project managers, engineering managers, and quality managers in various technologies, including mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and software.
The agenda covers key topics such as legislation for machinery safety and enforcement, CE-marking principles and requirements, the differences between UKCA and CE Marking, and PUWER requirements for equipment design. Additionally, you’ll learn about standard safety-related design solutions and machinery standards.
