4 day training - limited participation to 12 persons.

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.

Target Group 

Application engineers, system integrators, developers, safety specialists and authorized experts in machinery.

Trainers

Dipl.-Ing. Stephan Häb 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”.
