Safety seminars

Safety Interlocking company, Fortress Interlocks, is a member of the Machine Safety Alliance with Festo, Pilz Automation Technology, Troax, UK Engineering, and Werma.

The Machine Safety Alliance has organised a series of seminars across the UK which will focus on realworld applications of various technologies and the application of EN ISO 13849-1 and other safetyrelevant standards.

The withdrawal of safety standard EN 954-1 means that EN ISO 13849 will become the most widely used standard for the design, verification and validations of the safety related parts of control systems.

Fortress Interlocks sales and marketing manager, Tony Baggott, says: "Our hope is to help companies understand and comply with safety regulations while balancing productivity. Fortress Interlock is well placed to provide expertise in this field in collaboration with our specialist partners in the alliance."
