Machine Safety Services
Our machine safety services are wide ranging. We help improve your machine safety standards with expert training for your engineers and health and safety teams, lock out tag out assessments for individual machines and ensure that machinery you’re exporting to Europe conforms to stringent EU health and safety standards.
Busy manufacturing facilities often need support for specific machine safety services. That’s where TEG Risk’s team of experts come in.
Our safety engineering specialists love to train teams on the latest compliance, help them better understand their own machinery and ensure lock out tag out (LOTO) and CE Marking for machinery exports to Europe are compliant.
Empower Your Operational Teams With Customised Training
Training is provided by our expert engineers and will be customised to the needs of your specific site, equipment and technical and non-technical teams. As well as being aligned with country specific compliance requirements. We work with organisations throughout Australia and New Zealand, and internationally.
Our machine safety training courses cover AS/NZS machine safety standards, and have the benefit of being tailored to your specific site machinery.
Machine Safety – Training for Managers
Upskill your management team to better understand the machine safety requirements for your site. We’ll ensure we’re providing your team with information specific to your machinery, and increase their knowledge of machine guarding safety. A working knowledge of machinery risk assessment is useful, but not necessary for participants.
Managers that would benefit from this training include Engineering Managers, Health and Safety Managers, Operations Managers, Procurement Managers and Human Resources Managers. Engineers would also benefit from better understanding the tools they need to apply to machinery safety and compliance. Your management team will be better equipped to understand and make decisions relating to machinery risk.
A TEG Risk expert engineer will conduct this training course for you at your site, over the course of a full day.
Machine Safety – Overview Training
Our intensive short course will ensure your wider team better understands machine safety issues and are more prepared to apply appropriate fixes. We cover off the key engineering requirements of the machine safety standards (AS/NZS 4024:2014) and supporting standards. That’s 900 pages of knowledge conveyed in a one to two hour training session.
At the end of our Machine Safety – Overview Training, your team will be able to better operate and maintain your machinery, risks will be identified more quickly and accurately and poor design fixes will be reduced.
This training is tailored to your operational team: specifically engineers and health and safety personnel. They will have a direct relationship with your machinery and be responsible for machinery improvements.
A TEG Risk expert engineer will conduct this training course for you onsite for two hours, or via a one hour video presentation.
Determine your unique LOTO requirements
Australasian regulations require all machinery to have programmes in place to prevent the movement of machinery during cleaning and maintenance. This legislation protects your employees from hazardous energy in the workplace, reducing serious injury and workplace fatalities.
The solution is LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out) which is an established set of procedures created for every machine at a site or plant to Lock Out and Tag Out each of the energy sources of an individual machine during its cleaning or maintenance cycle.
TEG Risk has a team of engineering professionals that can evaluate the energy sources of your machinery, and determine unique LOTO requirements for each. They will also be able to advise on any residual risks.
Machine Safety LOTO Services
If you have a Machine Safety Risk Assessment from TEG Risk, we can use the insights we’ve already gathered with MinRisk to quickly produce the LOTO cards you require for each machine.
Need a standalone LOTO assessment? Our engineering experts can conduct a LOTO only assessment for each of your machines to produce the LOTO cards you require to meet regulations.
Understand EU Conformity and CE Marking Standards For Machinery Exports
It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to ensure that EU health and safety standards are met for any machinery being sold in the European Economic Area (EEA). Most machinery is under the jurisdiction of the Electromagnetic Capability (EMC) Directive or the Machinery Directive (MD). A Machine Conformity Assessment against the EU Essential Health and Safety Requirements needs to be carried out for each relevant directive, along with the relevant European Normalised Standards. The process is validated with a written declaration and a CE Mark affixed to the machine.
Familiarity and experience with the European process requirement and the extensive number of European regulations is essential. However, with the correct guidance, the CE Marking process is straightforward.
Ensuring EU Conformity is a core skill for some of the TEG Risk team. Some of our engineering experts have exported machinery globally so are intimately familiar with the requirements. Combining international knowledge, with our extensive machine safety standards understanding gives us a unique perspective for Australasian manufacturers of machinery.
Machine Safety EU Conformity and CE Marking Services
TEG Risk offers a range of services to exporting manufacturers:
- Research and apply the relevant EU standards and directives
- Assess conformity to EU standards
- Assess all risks, and create safety concepts and designs to mitigate risk
- Make recommendations regarding the EU Essential Health and Safety Requirements
- Carry out all necessary inspections, tests and measurements
- Assist with compiling the required legal documentation and technical files for CE Marking.
What are the basic rules of machine safety?
Your team should understand how to use proper machine guarding, follow lockout/tagout procedures, and never bypass safety devices.
Operators should be trained, stay alert around moving parts, and perform regular inspections to keep machines safe and compliant.
What's the difference between a lock out and a tag out?
Lockout involves physically isolating and locking machinery’s energy sources so it cannot be turned on during maintenance.
Tagout uses warning tags to indicate equipment is unsafe to operate but does not provide the same physical restraint as a lockout.
What does CE marking mean?
