Course Overview
Master the complexities of safety-related control system design with our intensive two-day course. As modern factories evolve, ensuring the safety of both personnel and machinery has become increasingly complex.
This course is tailored for machine designers, providing a deep dive into the requirements of the BS EN ISO 13849-1 standard for machinery safety. You’ll gain a clear understanding of key terminology and acquire practical knowledge of the verification process for safety-related control systems, including the use of SISTEMA software. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to begin the journey in designing safer systems that meet industry standards.
