All in Safety

Operators are being increasingly sensitised and encouraged to deal with these issues. This is done in order to make manufacturing and production in your company significantly safer, more ergonomic and more efficient for man and machine.

Machine tools in particular, where employees have access to the danger zone during set-up and production, are subject to strict regulations and the operator is obliged to inspect all work equipment used in the company.

As the operator of machines and systems, you are faced with the question of whether your employees are working in safe workplaces every day.
The background to this is accident prevention, as every employee is an important asset for the company.

Many laws, standards and regulations also govern how you organise safety. 

You are probably familiar with the most important laws:

    - Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV)
    - Technical rules for operational safety (TRBS)
    - Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG)
    - Workplace Ordinance (ArbStättV)
    - Technical rules for workplaces (ASR)
    - ... 

In order to make workplaces safe right from the design phase of a machine, machines manufactured and marketed in Europe are subject to strict safety regulations. There are defined procedures for verifying the safety of the system, which form the basis for CE labelling.

We are also happy to be a strong partner at your side for these issues.

Risk assessments

We are happy to support you in preparing risk assessments for activities and work equipment.

We are also happy to be there for you on site and evaluate the hazards during a safety inspection, also together with your safety specialist, and draw up an action plan based on your existing documents to increase safety for man and machine.  

Of course, this is done taking into account ergonomics and the productivity requirements of your production or manufacturing.

The following structure for the procedure for creating risk assessments has proven itself here and is also used by us:

  • Preparation of the risk assessment,
  • Determine the hazards,
  • Assessing the hazards,
  • Determining specific occupational safety measures,
  • Implementing the measures,
  • Checking the implementation and effectiveness of the measures and
  • Updating the risk assessment

Of course, we continue to be there for you even after the first version of the "finished" risk assessment has been drawn up. This is because it is not "set in stone" and is of course subject to review in the event of changes in circumstances or incidents, e.g:

  • Introduction of new work equipment
  • Introduction of new procedures
  • Near-accidents, i.e. "dicey" situations that were still minor
  • Damage to property
  • Accidents
  • Illnesses

We not only support you in the preparation of risk assessments, but also advise you on the introduction of suitable and/or necessary measures and support you in their implementation and monitoring. We are here for you. Just get in touch with us.

Safety assessments of already converted or planned modernisations of machines and systems:

Safety assessment of the existing machine
Review of modifications made under the aspect of significant/insignificant modification by the specifications of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS) - Comparison of the actual condition with the condition of the machine before the conversion 

    -  What is a significant or insignificant change?

Preparation of a risk assessment for non-substantial modifications
Comparison of the modification with the Machinery Directive (state of the art) and any existing C standards (standards research and analysis)
Verification and validation of the safety-relevant parts of control systems in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13849-1 using the standards developed by the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
