Webinar: Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems, Safety Requirements in Design and Compliance
2pm – 3pm Thursday April 16, 2026 (NZDT) · ONLINE · FREE
Join Chartered Professional and Functional Safety Engineer Andrey Zhidkov for a focused session on the evolving safety standards for automated storage and retrieval systems.
With increasing use of shuttles, AGVs, and AMRs, Andrey will unpack the latest updates to AS/NZS 4024.3704:2024 and ISO 3691-4:2023, exploring what safe design really looks like and what your obligations are when systems become more autonomous.
Get clear on your responsibilities when designing and integrating automated storage and retrieval systems.
With the rise of automated warehousing, more businesses are adopting shuttle systems, AGVs, and AMRs, but few fully understand the safety and compliance obligations involved.
In this 60-minute expert-led session, Functional Safety Engineer Andrey Zhidkov will break down the latest requirements from AS/NZS 4024.3704:2024 and ISO 3691-4:2023, offering practical insight into how to design safer, standards-compliant systems from the ground up.
From interlocks and braking systems to human detection and lifecycle validation, this webinar will give you the clarity you need to make better design decisions and meet your duty of care, whether you're a manufacturer, integrator, or operator.
Through this expert-led session, you’ll learn how to design safer, standards-compliant automated systems that meet the demands of modern warehousing and logistics.

What You’ll Learn:
Standards in Focus
Understand the role of AS/NZS 4024.3704:2024 and ISO 3691-4:2023 in automated warehousing and mobile robot safety and what’s changing.
Designing for Compliance
Explore key design requirements, including interlocks, two-hand controls, shuttle car braking, intermediate barriers, and load entry/exit safety.
Mobile Robots & AMRs
Get across new international requirements for AGVs and AMRs, including person detection and how the rules differ for light vs heavy, fast-moving platforms.
Lifecycle Safety Management
Learn what’s required to validate and verify safety across the full system lifecycle—not just during design and install.
About TEG Risk
Getting machine safety right the first time saves your organisation time, money, and risk
We help you identify and control machine safety risks before they become costly incidents. We’ll then provide your business with a robust plan to mitigate your risks to meet your health and safety requirements.
Our team works throughout Australasia, across large multi-site organisations with international clients. We provide safety engineering services for physical and mechanical disciplines and also those related to hazardous substances and hazardous area classifications.
We recently partnered with CHEP, a global leader in pallet and container pooling. While CHEP had conducted internal assessments, they required an independent review to ensure compliance with internal standards and external requirements such as the AS/NZS 4024 series. Our team identified and addressed machine safety hazards, developed standard solutions to key risks, and applied these consistently across multiple sites to achieve compliance and improve safety outcomes.
