Machine Safety Consultation and Comprehensive Training Seminars
Machine Safety Requirements that Govern Your Industry
Do you know what machine safety requirements govern your specific industry today? With the constant changes in standards and requirements, how does your company keep up with them?
Machine Safety and Control Reliability are more important than ever before, and every day National and International Standards are becoming increasingly more complicated. As a business, machine designer and manufacturer, your company is obligated to know about — and to follow — all machine safety standards and regulations. Compliance to the regulations and standards that govern your industry is not only necessary to make your employees safe, but also to make your company defendable if an accident should occur. Nevertheless, we understand that it can be difficult for each individual company to keep track of all the new regulations and how they should be applied.
Jokab Safety Can Help Your Company Understand
Your local Jokab Safety representative can provide your company with machine safety consultation, training and analysis during all stages of the design, build and complete installation of machinery — or as an ongoing consulting assignment with periodic meetings throughout the year.
We can help your management team and employees understand how these machine safety standards affect your company today with comprehensive training seminars conducted either at our facilities — or at any site of your choosing.
Jokab course trainers offer decades of experience in machine safety and control reliability, as well as extensive knowledge of machine safety regulations and standards.
Call us at 1-888-282-2123 today to arrange for your company’s Consultation or Training — and get on the right track toward total compliance.
Meeting North American and European Machine Safety Standards
A distinguishing feature of all the Jokab Safety engineers is that they work daily with practical applications of standards and regulations. This is true for everything from safety components for individual machines, to the design and creation of entire machine safety systems for larger manufacturing production lines. We also participate in standardization groups which decide on North American and International Standards concerning machine safety. Because Jokab Safety has global representation, we have up-to-date knowledge of the machine safety requirements in many different countries.
Machine Safety Solutions — the time is now!
The need for machine safety has become one of the most important concerns for manufacturers today. The necessity to protect employees from injury, to meet governing machine safety standards, and to have documentation to make your company defendable are realities that cannot be ignored.
The questions that most companies ask are either “How do we get started?” or “How do we keep our current machine safety systems compliant with the changing standards?” The answer to these questions are the same — contact Jokab Safety and schedule a Machine Safety Consultation with one of our Safety Sales Specialists.

MACHINE SAFETY SEMINARS
Understanding Control Reliability
This seminar will cover the subject of Control Reliability and its’ definition as it pertains to National and International Machine Safety Standards. References are made to various sections of the European Standard EN954 and ANSI B11.19. The importance of having control reliable circuits and protective elements will be discussed in detail.
Understanding General Machine Guarding
Training will detail the proper method for hazard identification and choosing the right machine safeguarding element for each application. Coverage of various sections relative to machine safety standards — such as ANSI B11.19 and CSA Z432-04 — are reviewed. Limitations and appropriate methods of installing light curtains, laser scanners, safety mats, relays, and other devices, are discussed. The CFR Part 1910 Occupational Safety and Health Standards for General Industry - Subpart 0 Machinery and Machine Guarding will be reviewed as appropriate. The concept of “AUTO” — Around – Under – Through – Over, when designing and installing machine safeguarding, shall be discussed.
Planning Your Machine Safety Strategy and Making Your Company Defendable
Each company has the obligation to provide employees with the safest working environment possible. Machine Safety is governed by various regulatory agencies, and companies are expected to make every effort to be compliant with these safety standards. This seminar is a guideline about “Planning Your Machine Safety Strategy,” and why it must be regarded as a major concern if part of your goal is “Making Your Company Defendable.” Discussions about Risk Assessment, Machine Limit Determination, Stopping Time and Distance, Hazard Identification, Documentation, and Validation are included.
Risk Assessment and Risk Reduction
Training includes reviewing the various types of risk assessments such as the RIA 15:06-1999 Clause 9, as well as ANSI B11.3 Risk Assessment and Risk Reduction, A Guide to Estimate, Evaluate and Reduce Risks Associated with Machine Tools. Discussion will cover how to set up a risk assessment team, the process involved in new equipment buy offs, who should review equipment modifications, and the process of ensuring on-going compliance to the relevant standards and codes.
INDUSTRY SPECIFIC SEMINARS
RIA Robotic Machine Safety Standards
This seminar covers the RIA 15:06 Robot Standard that was published in June 1999. Training will include reviewing clauses 1 through 14 and the application of protective elements to the robot and robotic system. Discussion and review will be conducted in detail relative to the prescribed method of machine safeguarding, as well as the comprehensive risk assessment, identification of necessary tasks, solutions to reduce risk, validate proposed solutions, and documentation.
Packaging Machine Safety Standards
Seminar presents an overview of the ANSI B155.1- 2006 Safety Requirements for Packaging Machinery and Packaging-Related Converting Machinery. The require- ments of this standard apply to new, modified or rebuilt industrial and commercial machinery, which perform packaging functions for primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging. This standard describes the procedures for identifying hazards, risk assessments, and reducing risks to an acceptable level over the life cycle of the packaging machinery.
Printing Press Machine Safety Standards
Training will explain sections of ANSI B65.1-2005 Graphic Technology Safety Standard - Printing Press Systems, as they pertain to machine safety. This standard applies to printing press systems, including auxiliary equipment and finishing machines, in which all the machine actuators (e.g. drives) of the equipment in the system are controlled, by the same control system. The standard provides safety requirements for the design, construction, and use of printing press systems. It addresses recognized hazards specific to printing press systems in the following areas — mechanical, electrical, slipping, tripping, falling, ergonomics, noise, radiation, explosion, fire, temperature, impact.
