Building A Machine Safety Mindset
Many individuals involved in machine safety design rely on their understanding of “what is safe” when designing or upgrading an industrial machine. This can lead to inconsistent machine safety methodologies amongst EHS, Engineering design, and maintenance professionals in a workplace. This webinar discusses the steps of building a machine safety mindset to achieve a more uniform company machine guarding and safety methodology.
