PPMA training courses: Robotic Safety and Quick Learning

Robotic Safety for Integrators

This one-day training course takes place on 13 February 2020 at the Hilton hotel in Leicester. Aimed at companies designing, manufacturing, purchasing and using machinery and production systems incorporating robots, the seminar addresses many of the issues relating to CE marking of complex assemblies. In particular, the Robotic Safety for Integrators seminar covers these two important standards:

• BS EN ISO 10218-1:2011 Robots and robotic devices. Safety requirements for industrial robots. Part 1: Robots
• BS EN ISO 10218-2:2011 Robots and robotic devices. Safety requirements for industrial robots. Part 2: Robot systems and integration

Other topics to be covered include: CE marking, hazard identification, risk assessment, risk reduction, safety, guarding, safety requirements, and safety-related control systems.

Quick Learning

The PPMA has developed a new format of training, known as Quick Learning, with each face-to-face session designed to be short, interactive and focused on one topic. Training that is fast and fun! Sessions last from 90 minutes to half a day and the next Quick Learning course takes place on 3 March 2020 at the Manchester Airport Marriott Hotel.

In the morning, delegates will learn about Coaching in the Workplace, with the session being designed for line managers and team leaders (or 'scrum masters'). Topics include:

• Understanding what coaching is and what it is not
• Identifying the interpersonal skills an effective coach needs
• Developing coaching style questions
• Planning to use a practical four-step coaching model
• Practice session

The afternoon focuses on Running effective one-to-ones, presenting tools and techniques to help staff members deal with issues and have relevant and practical conversations. Topics include:

• Planning 1 to 1s
• Identifying interpersonal skills needed by line managers to conduct effective 1 to 1s
• Using tools and techniques to aid motivation, commitment and assessment of skills and development areas
• Planning for the next period / 1 to 1
