Enrollment is currently open for this two-day, instructor-led training event which is designed to help participants improve safety in their facility by increasing awareness of modern safety standards and enabling increased use of engineering controls for risk reduction methods.

• Machine safeguarding
• Machine risk assessment
• Control reliability, functional safety, and safety interlocks
• Effective alternatives for hazardous energy control (LOTO alternatives)
• Liability and legal concerns
• Applicable OSHA, ANSI, NFPA, RIA, and ISO standards

One of their most requested topics is their “How to Perform a Risk Assessment” module, which details why risk assessments are needed, risk assessment systems, risk factors (severity, exposure, and probability), and how to use risk assessment spreadsheet tools.

There is also an option for participants to add on a third day of training on December 7th with specialized technical break-out sessions for a deeper understanding of the subject material. These sessions go more in-depth on technical topics (such as industrial robot and cobot safety, advanced functional safety and control reliability, and safety requirements for bypassing guards) and allow for focused Q&A time. As the previous course participant list grows, the MSS team would also like to note that anyone who has attended a training course led by them in the past is eligible to register for the day of advanced technical training and Q&A sessions.
