Safety
Workshops reflect changes on UK safety legislation front
Reflecting changing requirements for machinery safety in the UK, the
Interactive Machinery Safety workshops organised in association with
Laidler Associates, Pilz Automation Technology and Proctor Machinery
Guarding are being completely revised for 2003.
New for this year are workshops covering the ATEX Directive (due for
adoption here in July 2003), the Pressure Equipment Directive and BS EN
61508 (functional safety of electrical/electronic/programmable electronic
safety related systems).
There will also be a shift in emphasis so that less time will be devoted
to the content of the legislation and standards. Instead, more practical
advice will be given on how to comply with the requirements.
Each workshop will be limited to 25 delegates. They are taking place in
Corby on May 1 and Leeds on May 22, and the organiser promises more dates
and venues for the rest of the year. Cost per delegate is £150 (plus
VAT), including lunch and course material.
