Machine Safety – Project Management
Machine Safety – Project ManagementOnce a Risk Assessment has been completed TEG Risk will ensure the risks identified in your assessments are properly mitigated with our Machine Safety Project Management services. Site-wide risk management is not a business-as-usual undertaking. The risks we often discover in our assessments cannot be rectified properly with the amount of internal resources and time most businesses currently have. What we often see is the effect of ‘organisational risk’ – without the resources on hand, companies often put risk management strategy in the ‘too-hard’ basket and continue to carry risk. TEG Risk Are Expert Project Management Consultants. As a team of experts specifically qualified in machine safety assessments, we are well-placed to plan the risk mitigation process for the most efficient results – both time and resource-wise. For large-scale change, implementation can take years. We provide thorough scheduling breakdowns and tracking systems so you can easily make sure you’re on task. |

Machine Safety – Validation
Machine Safety – ValidationMost machine safety regulations require independent equipment validation after projects have been carried out, which can be a very technical process. We can provide you with full, independent Validation Services on upgraded machines and OEM equipment. Our Validation Service verifies that the safety design was put in place correctly and checks that the machine works safely and meets the safety requirement specifications. TEG Risk can make sure all of the boxes are ticked:
|
TEG Risk Will:Validate machine safety according to the internal requirements of each client, to the requirements of AS/NZS 4024:2014 and the ISO variants including:
If appropriate, we also validate work to the requirements of international regulations.

Machine Safety – LOTO
Machine Safety – LOTOProtecting Your Workers From Hazardous Energy Every year, hundreds of Kiwi employees are seriously injured or killed by machinery. Fingers are caught in cogs, limbs are severed by blades, or a body is crushed by a press. Many of these incidents occur because the machine was not properly ‘locked out’. What Is LOTO And What Does Stand For? LOTO stands for: LOCK OUT-TAG OUT, and is a set of established procedures for each and every machine that includes locks and tags for ‘locking out, tagging out’ each of the energy sources on a machine during cleaning and maintenance. Why is LOTO necessary? LOTO will protect your employees and it is also a regulatory requirement that machines have a programme in place to prevent the movement of machinery during cleaning and maintenance. TEG Risk has the specialist engineering professionals to evaluate your machinery to determine its energy sources and LOTO requirements and any residual risks. |
TEG Risk Offers:Clients who have already completed Machine Risk Assessments by TEG Risk will be able to utilise insights through The MinRisk App. The MinRisk App provides most of the data and images are already available to produce the LOTO cards with little extra work required.

Machine Safety – EU Conformity / CE Marking
Machine Safety – EU Conformity / CE MarkingIf you are exporting machinery to Europe, as the manufacturer you must ensure your machine conforms to the stringent health and safety requirements set in place by the EU. Most machinery is under the jurisdiction of the Electromagnetic Capability (EMC) Directive or the Machinery Directive (MD). A Machine Conformity Assessment against the 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 fixed to the machine. If these requirements seem complex to you, don’t be surprised. 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. The TEG Risk team have expert-level understanding of this process. Members of the team have worked in the Machine Risk Assessment industry for several years in Europe, while also obtaining relevant CE Assessment qualifications. This knowledge, combined with our extensive machine safety standards knowledge, means we are ideally placed to provide you with advice in this area. |

Machine Reliability
Machine ReliabilityEvery manufacturing company depends on their machinery to function as efficiently as possible. But when machines wear out or break down, they won’t function at the speed or quality required – or at all. With our expertise in machine assessment and prioritisation, TEG Risk provides comprehensive solutions to machine reliability and performance. We will present the most cost-effective and practical steps your business can take to optimise your plant’s performance. We offer two options for Machine Reliability maintenance: Proactive and Reactive. 1. The Proactive Approach The best time to implement the required actions is when things are running well. Taking preventative action will help to ensure equipment stays that way. Most equipment doesn’t last as long as its design life. TEG Risk understand the issues that can cause your equipment to malfunction or wear out earlier than it should. To avoid this, we implement solutions that maximise the lifespan and performance of the equipment. We also implement monitoring to warn of impending issues and ensure the site is prepared for the required repairs to minimise disruptions. 2. The Reactive Approach If you’re constantly fixing machine problems, you no longer have the time for proactive solutions. This is when TEG Risk will run a loss mapping assessment to identify the significant issues affecting your business. We then prioritise the issues that need to be addressed according to their value. Our detailed Root Cause Analysis process identifies the most effective and efficient solutions to gain not only the fastest results but the most sustainable. |

Hazardous Substances & Explosive Areas
Hazardous Substances & Explosive AreasAbout 1 in 3 New Zealand businesses manufacture, use, handle or store hazardous substances. These substances are a major contributor to the estimated 600-900 deaths and 30,000 cases of serious ill health from work-related disease each year. To ensure your workplace isn’t contributing to these overwhelming statistics, an in-depth risk assessment is crucial. New Zealand has strict and complex governance around hazardous substances and explosive areas. TEG Risk’s best practice advice comes from years of experience and in-depth understanding of the regulations and risks involved. Experts in the fieldTEG Risk Director Hamish Baker spent many years working in the UK as the Environment, Safety and Health Manager for an international chemical and food additives company. Combined with his process engineering training background he is ideally placed to understand your operations and how they might be affected by hazardous substances or explosive atmospheres. Hamish has completed formal Hazardous Area Classification training in the UK through BASEEFA and has also obtained Unit Standard Certification to the Australian standards concerning hazardous area classification:

Detailed Machine Risk AssessmentIf you have determined there is a specific machine that needs to be upgraded, our expert facilitators can carry out a team-based risk assessment with your key stakeholders so we can specify the solutions that will address your risks while not compromising machine productivity. By including stakeholders in the process of our assessment we can eliminate the hazards and address other issues such as hygiene or reliability. The outcome of this will improve the operator’s experience of their machine, which will also increase their productivity. A detailed machine risk assessment is also ideal for addressing risks on complicated machines for which no suitable solution has previously been found. Our expert safety engineers can describe the residual risks of various options so your organisation can make an informed decision as to how best to proceed. |

Pre-purchase Health & Safety by Design ReviewRisks are best dealt with at the design stage. When putting a new production line or piece of equipment in we can undertake a design review risk assessment. The output of this process is that we identify how to can engineer out some of the risk, and create key specifications you can include in a supply contract. These detailed specifications provide a verification and validation basis when it comes to commissioning time. They also help to ensure your suppliers, are committed to providing a safe and compliant machine. Whenever we carry out our machine risk assessments we will:
