The effectiveness of particular types of safeguards depends in part on the correct positioning of the relevant parts in relation to the danger zone. ISO 13855 primarily defines human approach speeds. These approach speeds need to be considered when designing safety measures and selecting the appropriate sensor technology. Different speeds and sizes are defined, depending on the direction and type of approach. Even an indirect approach is considered.

Viewers will learn:

• Safe distance formulas for different presence sensing devices
• Calculation techniques of stop time
• Application standards used for presence sensing devices

Combustible Dust poses one of the highest safety risks to a surprising variety of industries; some of whom do not realize that their processes and materials generate combustible dust – dust that could trigger a deadly explosion or costly six-figure OSHA fines. Some studies have claimed that the average cost of abating Combustible dust violations after an inspection approaches one million dollars. Industries, such as food, wood, chemical, plastics, and metals are regularly affected, but if you have bag houses and dust collectors, you may be affected.

In this session, we will discuss the basic process of combustible dust explosions and deflagrations, legal issues, common OSHA errors, and the roles of counsel and experts with practical workplace experience. We will discuss how experts and attorneys sift through the multiple applicable consensus standards, and state and local ordinances to come up with the best approach; often less costly than first anticipated.

The often neglected and misapplied first step is to conduct a dust hazard analysis or Process Hazard Analysis. This webinar will provide viewers with a guide to identifying combustible dust hazards, as well as touching upon the principles of dust clouds and ignitable atmospheres, mechanics of dust flash fires and explosions and how to analyze processes and buildings to determine where dust fire and explosion hazards may exist, and ways to mitigate hazards.

It’s been just over a year since the international occupational health and safety (OH&S) standard, ISO 45001, was published. However, for many businesses, the effect this standard will have on their business and supply chain still remains unanswered. With the clock ticking on the 3-year transition period, businesses need to begin taking the steps towards the new requirements now.

The standard, a result of a five-year process involving more than 70 countries, seeks to set a new benchmark in global OH&S by providing effective, real-world solutions for worker safety.  As a relatively new global standard, ISO 45001 will continue to shape the health and safety profession and directly impact how organizations manage health and safety, both in and out of the workplace, through hazard controls and risk reduction.  In other words, ISO 45001 is here and may impact your business whether or not you adopt the new standards.

This webinar will provide an introduction to ISO 45001, including discussion of:

• What ISO 45001 is and how it fits into existing OH&S standards
• Differences between ISO 45001 and its precursor, OHSAS 18001
• Why ISO 45001 matters and its impact upon your business
• Should your company come into compliance
• How your company can come into compliance

Industrial machines shipped into the EU are subject to the CE marking process. This marking process is also true for industrial machines produced or substantially modified within the EU. The CE mark declares that your machine meets the essential requirements of all relevant EU directives. Products that carry the CE mark may be imported and sold without restrictions from national regulations within the EAA. Assemblies of machines such as robotic cells and production lines also fall under this obligation and will be required to be CE marked accordingly.

The aim of this webinar is to enable you to understand the requirements of the Machinery Directive in relation to CE Marking

• How to determine the scope of machinery that is applicable to CE Marking legislation
• The role of manufacturers, importers, designers etc., of machinery with regards to CE Marking
• The requirements and process of CE Marking
