Introduction
The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC is implemented by the Supply of Machinery Regulations 2008. This puts a duty on the responsible persons to follow a conformity assessment procedure. The responsible person will be the manufacturer of the machinery or partly completed machinery. 1) The manufacturer is a person who designs or manufactures machinery or partly completed machinery: a. With a view to its being placed on the market under that person’s own name or trademark; or b. For that person’s own use in an EEA state; or 2) If there is no such person, the person who places that machinery or partly completed machinery on the market or puts it into service;
The CE Marking of Industrial Machines Level 2 is an appropriate means to support competency in the conformity assessment of industrial machines. The arrangements put in place for this purpose are the conformity assessment management systems and these are an essential aspect of achieving and maintaining conformity with community requirements (CE marking).

Who is it aimed at?
Our CE Marking courses are recommended for designers, integrators, modifiers and those involved in pre-purchase auditing of machines. It is particularly important for those responsible for managing the conformity assessment process and moderating or guiding others.

What are the learning outcomes?
1. Understand and apply appropriate technical terms and definitions in accordance with the Machinery Directive 2006/ EC.
2. Understand how to establish a design risk assessment (DRA) procedure.
3. Identify the correct EN standards for industry best practice. 4. Demonstrate and evidence compliance against the Essential Health and Safety Requirements (EHSRs) and common EN standards as a presumption of conformity.

What are the benefits?
Your knowledge of the conformity assessment procedure will allow you adapt to different scenarios to ensure it continues to correctly document your machine’s compliance with the machinery directive. In addition, you will recognise common non-compliances for more complex scenarios and have a good level of knowledge regards the supporting standards.

Introduction
Spiers Engineering Safety are proud to offer this qualification in PUWER Inspection and Machine Risk Assessment. It offers a practical element, allowing the learner to carry out an assessment on an industrial machine. This gives the learner a real feel for carrying out a PUWER inspection.
PUWER ‘98 applies to all work equipment, especially mobile and lifting equipment. It applies to all workplaces where the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSW Act) applies. All work equipment must have regular PUWER inspections carried out on them at set intervals.
This qualification is designed to develop and confirm advanced level inspection skills and knowledge for the learners who have responsibilities in the workplace for PUWER inspection of work equipment.
Using our unique RiskMach software, the learner will carry out the machine risk assessment on a tablet, enabling the data to be generated in a report format.

Who is it aimed at?
It is ideal for those with technical responsibilities in the workplace including technicians, team leaders, supervisors and Health and Safety practitioners.
The qualification is designed to assess the skills and understanding of the learner to inspect work equipment in accordance with PUWER 98, in a learning environment.
This 3 day course, involves a mixture of classroom learning, theory assessment and carrying out a practical risk assessment on an industrial machine.

What are the learning outcomes?
Carry out inspections and report findings in accordance with PUWER ‘98 guidance (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) Understand the requirements and implementation of PUWER ‘98 Understand the principles of risk assessment as a result of PUWER ‘98 inspections Understand how to identify control measures using hierarchy of control and European standards

What are the benefits?
Carry out your own PUWER inspections. There’s no need to source a machine safety consultancy to carry them out for you. Have control over your own PUWER processes – set your own PUWER inspections at set intervals. Your managers, engineers, technicians, team leaders and H&S professionals will be able to ensure that statutory requirements for inspection are met and that the risks on work equipment are identified and controlled in line with best practice and the law. Avoid accidents in the future by providing evidence of systematic risk assessment and risk reduction which (in the event of a claim following an accident) would drastically reduce your company’s contributory negligence.

Introduction
There are many reasons you may decide to perform due diligence on the conformity of an industrial machine to the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC but the most common are:
Sourcing a new machine for use or incorporation in to a project
Internal checks for quality assurance on the conformity assessment procedure
Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

Who is it aimed at?
This course would suit any person required to check the conformity of an industrial machine for the purposes listed above. This can be a safety manager, engineering manager, project manager or in the case of a machine manufacturer it may be a compliance manager, QSHE manager, designer, product manager or similar.

What are the learning outcomes?
After completing this course, you will leave knowing how to use the CE Audit of industrial machines checklist to:
Identify typical obvious design defects in the CE process of industrial machine


How to audit the instruction handbook

In order to meet the learning outcomes above, we will look (in detail) at;
The Purpose of CE Audits
Roles and responsibilities
Conformity assessment procedures
Relevant directives
Conformity Assessment
The principles of integration and the 3 Step Method
Markings on the machine
Instruction Handbook
Declaration
Technical Construction File (in brief)

Introduction
If you already have a basic understanding of PUWER, but wish to build on it with a practical element, then Level 2 training will be suitable for you. You may wish to attend the PUWER - Level 1 training first, or attend one of our Machine Safety Workshops.

Who is it aimed at?
Typically this course is attended by engineers being asked to complete PUWER inspections as a part of their role. However, it can also be of great interest to managers, safety professionals and OEMs. This course can be adapted to focus on key issues or types of machine / work equipment.

What are the learning outcomes?

Understand when a PUWER Inspection is required, what the scope of inspection should be, and what the limits are when making changes to the machine.
Use examples to complete a simulated inspection of a machine including hazard identification.
Complete risk estimation individually and as a team.
Apply a consistent rationale on Reasonably Practicable vs. Practicable.
Dangerous moving parts are governed by ‘where practicable’ the rest of the ACOP is where ‘reasonably practicable’. We will show you what this means in practice and some of the inconsistencies in comparison to the CE marking conformity process.

What are the benefits?

By completing a simulated inspection, you will get a feel for carrying out a real PUWER inspection.
Understand when to schedule in a PUWER inspection and WHY.
You will be able to ensure that statutory requirements for inspection are met and that the risks on work equipment are identified and controlled in line with best practice and the law. This may avoid an accident in the future but will also provide evidence of systematic risk assessment and risk reduction which, in the event of a claim following an accident, would drastically reduce your company’s contributory negligence.
