Machine Safety
Ensure machine safety and ergonomics to avoid unnecessary risks
Workplace accidents at work have major human and economic consequences. Beyond the personal consequences for employees who experience pain or even lose their mobility, accidents cost both organisations and society a great deal of money every year. By improving machine safety, you can prevent accidents at work and ensure that no one is injured when operating dangerous machinery.
It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that all machines are safely constructed and properly installed. The employer must also ensure that operating instructions are always available, and that employees are trained in how to use the machinery and the risks associated with the use of each machine.
How we can support your organisation with machine safety
- Risk assessment of machines and technical assistive devices
- Identification and reduction of dangerous conditions
- Advice on machine safety and safe installation
- Training employees in safe operation
- Ergonomic review and improvement of work postures
Risk assessments create clarity
The first step towards optimal machine safety is to carry out a risk assessment to gain an overview. We visit your workplace and review all machines and technical assistive devices to assess whether your employees can perform their tasks safely. We identify potentially dangerous conditions, assess the level of risk, and the possible consequences. We give advice on how to minimise these risks and offer guidance on the most effective machine solutions, customised to your industry and specific work tasks.
Does your company have machine safety and ergonomic conditions under control?
Machine safety is about more than just safeguarding and safe installation. When we advise and assist with machine safety in your organisation, we also address ergonomic conditions. Does the machine operator have the correct working posture, and is there a risk of repetitive strain? Through an ergonomic review and a critical analysis of your workplace design, we can identify whether changes and improvements are needed.
