ABB has announced a new series of robot safety training workshops designed for technical directors, manufacturing managers, production managers, technical specialists, engineers, and those responsible for planning, designing and implementing robot based automation systems.
ABB’s one-day workshops are free of charge and designed to satisfy the needs of manufacturers to understand and comply with robot and machine safety standards to keep their workplaces safe and productive.
The workshops are an opportunity for manufacturers to receive training in the implementation and continual development of safety systems in automated environments.
In particular, the following areas will be covered:
- Identification of primary legislative requirements and sources of information (codes and standards)
- Identification of hazards and control solutions
- Understanding of risk assessment methodologies and execution of the risk assessment
- Understanding the principles in the selection of categories of safety related parts of control systems required in AS 4024.1-2006, EN 954.1 and other risk management practices
- Implementation of the new AS4024 3001-compliant safety options available for ABB robots
Attendees will gain their understanding through presentations and workshop exercises conducted by robotics specialist Roger Lim, an electrical engineer with a post-graduate qualification in robotics.
The first workshop will take place in Adelaide on 22 June, with dates for Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney to be announced soon.
