Laidler Associates will launch a new version of its Risk Management Software System at Health and Safety '10 – South, which takes place at Sandown Park, Esher, on 23/24 February 2010. This new version provides up-to-date guidance on risk assessments for CE Marking to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, PUWER 98 and the working environment.
Widely used and highly regarded, the Risk Management Software System simplifies and speeds the process of assessment, as well as helping to ensure that no vital steps are missed.
The latest version has been updated to cover the requirements of the new Machinery Directive, 2006/42/EC, compliance with which became mandatory on 29 December 2009. Other enhancements to the software include an option for users to decide whether they work to EN ISO 13849-1 or EN 954-1 for the safety of machinery, and there is also an on-disk copy of the Health and Safety Executive's new PUWER Approved Code of Practice.
Designed as a modular system, the software can be enhanced to suit the needs of individual users by adding modules to deal with specific requirements beyond PUWER 98 and CE marking.
Simple to use
Each module guides users through the steps necessary for compliance by means of a simple question-and-answer approach that ensures that every step is completed. The modules then generate detailed reports in a uniform format, which makes it easy to fully document risk assessment processes and, in the case of CE marking, produce the essential technical files. If non-compliances are found, a prioritised 'to do' list is created. A further benefit of the system is the ability to store reports electronically.
The new version of the Risk Management Software System runs on Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7. A free demonstration version is available for download from the company's website at www.laidler.co.uk/software-risk-assessment.html.
