Our services for operating companies
As an operating company, you are responsible for the safety of your machines. We provide you with support during the regular hazard assessment and test the functions of the protective devices.
“Safety technology on machines and systems” status check
Our experts analyze the safety-related condition of your machinery and check whether the current safety-related requirements are satisfied in accordance with the current state of the art. In the event of deviations, we provide recommendations on what corrections can be performed so as to comply with legal requirements.
Hazard assessment
The German Industrial Safety Ordinance (BetrSichV) includes the legal requirement for employers to conduct a hazard assessment before work equipment is used and to update this at regular intervals according to the current state of the art. Our experts support you in conducting the hazard assessment and with the subsequent documentation.
Verification and validation of safety functions
To avoid errors when implementing safety functions, the correct and complete design of the safety functions must be verified according to the specifications. The performance of the safety function is then to be validated through function tests and error simulations. We support you during the planning and execution of the measures as well as with the preparation of the required documentation.
Inspection of protective devices
As part of the initial or regular inspection, we check the condition, mounting and function of the protective devices as well as their integration in the safe part of the machine control. We summarize the results of the tests in a detailed report.
Stopping time measurement
To calculate the required safety distance between the protective device and dangerous movement, the stopping time of the machine must be known. We use the stopping time measurement to reliably determine this parameter, thus enabling the correct positioning of the protective device. By measuring the stopping time as part of regular inspections, any wear, such as on engine brakes, can be detected in good time.
