UCPD safety courses

Laidler Associates, part of the machinery division of TÃœV SÃœD Product Service, will be running its University Certificate in Professional Development (UCPD) courses on European Machinery Safety, Electrical Safety and the newer Functional Safety Standards this Autumn. The first one is due to take place on the 17th October 2011 at the Ramada Hotel, Solihull.

The UCPD courses include a week's training which covers in detail the regulatory framework relating to machine safety. Once the training is complete the professionals then have 16-weeks of distance learning to complete their final assessment using Laidler's virtual reality package.

The Electrical and Functional Safety courses are the latest additions to the Laidler training portfolio and cover the application of key EN standards for machinery safety such as EN 60204-1, EN ISO 13849-1 and EN 62061.
