Risk Assessment Workshops
Increase Your Business Value with Machine Safety Standards and Risk Assessment
This course provides an overview of regulations, norms, and standards in the major markets that produce and purchase packaging and processing machinery. Some have changed and can impact your machinery solution value; non-compliance can prevent you from capturing business in your target markets. Risk Assessment training is integrated as a core approach to improving value while addressing these regulatory and normative requirements.
Risk assessment is a process manufacturers use to evaluate their equipment for potential health and safety hazards before a hazard can cause an accident or incident. Many end users now require risk assessments as part of the procurement process.
