New machinery safety course
September 1st 2008 According to Laidler Associates
there is very little in the way of real
training in critical areas of safety
such as CE Marking and PUWER.
To address this, the company is
now offering a University Certificate
in Professional Development
(UCPD) in Machinery Safety. The
tailored machinery safety course
marks the first step in Laidler's
expansion of its training services,
and uses virtual reality technology
to put a fully functioning machine
within any training room.
While generic health and safety
qualifications exist that include a
small element of machinery safety,
the new UCPD in Machinery Safety
from Laidler Associates is a
qualification that addresses today's
essential safety training
requirements. The format provides
five days of taught contact time,
covering Risk Assessment,
Introduction to Work Equipment
inspections (PUWER) and CE
Marking assessments, and the
application of standards. Days four
and five provide practical sessions
where delegates are taken through
a PUWER inspection and a CE
project using checklists generated
by the Laidler Risk Management
software.
The course will include two short
assessments, and delegates will
then have additional material to
work through before carrying out a
PUWER inspection and a CE
Marking assessment on a virtual
machine.
