Two-day machinery risk management course approved by IIRSM
Glover Associates & Consulting is expanding its popular Two-Day Risk Managing Machinery Safely Course, which is now approved by the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM), with courses scheduled throughout the UK. This course presents information about machinery safety legislation, the role of standards, CE marking against EU Directives, and risk management techniques, all in a single training package that is completed in just two days.
Having completed the course and enhanced their competency, delegates can carry out machinery assessments the way that they should while ensuring their business or employer complies with the necessary legal requirements.
New dates have been announced for the course that provides delegates with a specialist qualification in machinery safety; courses can be booked at different locations around the UK, with certification from the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM).
Who should attend?
This training course is aimed at people who have responsibility for new or existing and old machinery, including health and safety professionals, designers, manufacturers, maintenance engineers and engineering/project managers, insurance inspectors; no particular prior knowledge of electrical or mechanical engineering is necessary for delegates to benefit from this course.
Recent revisions to the course mean there are now even more practical case studies and templates, and delegates are taken through the practical processes that a reasonable and competent person should complete in order to safeguard employees and meet legal requirements. Attendees gain a greater understanding of the requirements of machinery safety legislation and standards through practical classroom exercises and theory.
Successful candidates are awarded a certificate for Risk Managing Machinery Safely from the IIRSM in London so they can demonstrate a level of competency in machinery safety.
