• Safety in practice
• Fundamental legal requirements for the procedures of:
  • importing machines from outside the EU
  • modifying the machine/production line
  • building a new production line
• Stages of the process of modifying the machine in terms of safety:
  • risk assessment shown on the example of the hydraulic press
  • the concept of safety of reducing the selected mechanical hazard
  • designing safety systems as shown on the example of optical barriers as a risk reduction measure
  • validation in order to confirm conformity with directives and standards
• Documents confirming fulfillment of the requirements
• Safety maintenance in workplaces:
  • international conformity assessment (relocating machines and production lines)
  • safety analysis of the machinery fleet (safety reports)
  • LoTo (ensuring safety for servicing)
  • ESPE measurements (measuring overrun time for light curtains)
  • training courses in safety (certificate of TUV CMSE expert)

200 participants from 80 enterprises from all over the country took part in our one-day meeting. Media patronage over the event was provided by the magazine Służby Utrzymania Ruchu (Maintenance Services Magazine).
