Fortress joins the Alliance

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 aims to
share its collective knowledge and
expertise to help machine builders
and users make sense of safety and
safeguard their productivity.

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.

The Machine Safety Alliance
brings together experts of the
collective technologies under one
roof to provide comprehensive safety
knowledge that is more readily
accessible.

Tony Baggott, sales and
marketing manager at Fortress
Interlocks said: “The Machine Safety
Alliance is a non-profit organisation.

Our hope is to help companies
under stand and comply with safety
regulations while balancing
productivity.”
