Technological Advances in Machinery Safety-Related Control Systems
Those responsible for the safety of machinery need to understand the basics and limitations of how interlocking and other sensory safeguards operate. This session covers the assessment of machinery safety-related control systems necessary to meet the established benchmarks, focussing on the move towards automation (including robot safety, collaborative robots and AI), considering the ongoing need for adequate maintenance and the considerations relating to automatic or remotely updates. It will also offer an introduction to the recently refreshed machinery safety courses available from HSE.
