Practical machinery safety

Machinery safety and compliance
consultant, Laidler Associates, will be
leading and sponsoring the new Plant
Machinery Safety zone at
Health+Safety 10 North.

The company, which specialises in
machinery safety legislation and risk
assessments, will give a presentation
on ‘Practical machinery safety
including guarding issues’. Using its
virtual reality system to re-create a
typical working environment, Laidler
is able to bring to life the problems
that are present and demonstrate how
to provide safe solutions in this area.

Focusing on the practical nature of
the zone, Laidler will also demonstrate
how to complete and document
a PUWER 98 (Provision and Use of
Work Equipment Regulations 98)
assessment or CE Marking to the
Machinery and Low Voltage
Directives. The presentation will also
cover the requirements of the new
Machinery Directive, 2006/42/EC in
this regard. Stand 218
