4-day training - in cooperation with ROCKWELL Automation, United Kingdom
Rockwell Automation offers this training in cooperation with TÜV Rheinland.
The first 3.5 days are classroom instructions that provide detailed information and example / discussions for understanding and mastering the requirements of EN 62061, EN/ISO 13849-1, -2, IEC 61508-1, -7 in Functional Safety.
The last day ends with an exam, which is necessary to pass in order to get the TÜV Functional Safety Engineer certificate. The training can also be attended without sitting the exam.
Target Group
Application engineers, system integrators, developers, safety specialists and authorized experts in machinery.
Contents
The new standards regarding Functional Safety as well as the new European Machinery Directive demand that persons and organisations performing responsible (accountable) tasks during the life cycle phase of a machine have to achieve and prove the required competencies.
Within this training the defined requirements regarding the design as well as the proof of Functional Safety of machines in respect to the current standards and guidelines are described and discussed in detail.
Examples from practice will demonstrate possibilities regarding machine protection. The participant can learn, how safety devices and safety components are assembled and applied to reduce hazards from machinery so the necessary safety for people and environment is guaranteed. In addition to the technical requirements, information about organisational measures as well as quality assurance and documentation for the life-cycle design and validation will be passed on.
Trainers
Dr. Peter Kocybik and Dr. Thorsten Gantevoort.
Both work as international experts in safety of machines and plants for many years at TÜV Rheinland Industrie Service GmbH. They also hold various trainings and workshops worldwide regarding the topic “Functional Safety”.
