Few engineers would be prepared to state that they are fully familiar with all aspects of the regulations, standards and risk management techniques relating to machinery safety. But this four day course in conjunction with Pilz Automation Technology presents all of this material in the form of a single training package suitable for electrical and mechanical engineers and engineering managers. In addition to classroom sessions there are also practical exercise and examinations that, if passed, lead to the candidate being awarded a City & Guilds Machinery Safety Certificate.
