| Machine Safeguarding Skill Builder Seminar |
| Are you confident your machines are
guarded to the relevant standards?
Have all steps been taken to prevent
injuries from process equipment?
Has a documented machine guarding
assessment been done to verify
compliance?
If you're not sure, or the answer is no to
any of these questions, then your facility
can benefit from an Omron STI Machine
Safeguarding Skill Builder Seminar. |
Skill Builders are 1 or 2-day training
seminars that educate your personnel
on the requirements and methods of
machine and process safeguarding.
This helps plant personnel to identify,
and sometimes correct, machine
safeguarding discrepancies. Two Omron
STI professionals will conduct the training
at your manufacturing plant.

All Managers concerned with the safety
of plant personnel
|
| The Machine Safeguarding Skill Builder
program has the most impact when the
corporate EH&S Manager along with the
plant-level safety people meet at one plant
location. Classes are small with no more
than 20 in attendance. |
Attendees will walk away with a greater
understanding of methods for machine
safeguarding and the correct applications
of guarding devices.
Your plant personnel are trained on: |
|
Identifying machine hazards |
|
Machine hazard risk assessment |
|
Machine guarding techniques and the
latest safeguarding technologies |
|
Machine guarding requirements as set
by regulatory and consensus standards |
|
Safety circuit design requirements
based on risk level |
|
|
Are you confident your
machines are guarded to
the relevant standards?
|
After the Skill Builder Training is complete,
the group goes to the plant floor to
participate in a Machine Guarding
Inspection. The purpose of this inspection
is to raise awareness of obvious guarding
shortcomings so that you can act to
prevent injuries to personnel. Attendees
will apply skills learned by working
side-by-side with a machine guarding
specialist to evaluate several machines
and their current guarding. Many of these
discrepancies may be corrected by plant
maintenance personnel; however, some
may require additional expertise. After the
evaluation, there is a group discussion
for a better understanding of the findings.
After that, the only thing we ask is that you
commit to correcting your safeguarding
discrepancies. |

| Six Steps to a Safe Plant |
The proven process for successfully
safeguarding a plant is as follows:
1. Educate responsible corporate
and plant level personnel through
training seminars on machine
guarding,
2. Conduct a plant machine guarding
evaluation to identify obvious
concerns or imminent danger to
employees,
3. Conduct a risk level assessment and
create a risk reduction plan,
4. Implement the risk reduction plan,
5. Train operators and maintenance
personnel on the care and use of the
new safeguarding systems, and
6. Periodic machine safety audits to
ensure safe mounting distances and
proper application of safeguards
that may have changed due to
a change in the process or the
machine's uses. |
