A Practical Guide to Machinery Safety, Edition 5
TUV SUD Product Service has published the 5th edition of its popular and very useful book A practical guide to Machinery Safety. Written by machinery safety experts, the guide covers legislation, risk assessments and machinery safety solutions.
Machinery safety is one of the most significant issues facing every manufacturing company in Europe today, being just as important as productivity, and is essential for the well-being of everyone involved.
TUV SUD has provided this new edition of its practical guide to machinery safety, focusing on common hazards and issues that the company's experts come across on a regular basis.
The aim of the book is to introduce machinery safety and provide suggestions and guidance as to the best route to compliance. Crucially though, it is only a guide and an interpretation of the regulations; the onus remains firmly on the machine manufacturer and user to show compliance with all relevant legislation.
Neil Dyson, Business Line Manager for Machinery Safety at TUV SUD Product Service, comments: "While machinery end-users think they have safety compliance covered, our site visits often prove otherwise. Safety requirements go much further than the Machinery Directive, and a complex series of interrelated standards means that even the most astute can still get things wrong.
"Our new guide will help them to ensure that they are on the right path to compliance as machinery safety is one of the most significant issues facing every manufacturing company in Europe today."
