Guide to machinery safety
22 May 2015
TÜV SÜD Product Service's Practical Guide to Machinery Safety has been developed in response to the common hazards and issues that its consultants regularly observe when visiting manufacturing sites.

The guide introduces machinery safety, providing guidance on the best route to compliance, including topics such as:
The legislative framework
Implementing risk assessments
Four steps to CE marking
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER)
Neil Dyson, business line manager for Machinery Safety, said: "While machinery end-users think they have safety compliance covered, our site visits often prove otherwise. Safety requirements go much further than the Machinery Directive, and a complex series of interrelated standards means that even the most astute can still get things wrong.
"Our new guide will help them to ensure that they are on the right path to compliance as machinery safety is one of the most significant issues facing every manufacturing company in Europe today.”
The guide is available as a download from the company’s website (www.tuv-sud.co.uk)
