Title: Fluid Power and Machinery Safety Working Together
Description:
Session Code: R7
Often fluid power is overlooked when it comes to machinery safety. This presentation will provide attendees with an understanding of the requirements for the control of hazardous energy using lockout, tagout, or alternative methods as they relate to fluid power. We will share the requirements from OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 and ANSI/ASSP Z244.1 and the B11 series of standards for Machinery Safety.
The attendee will gain an understanding of the differences between hazardous energy, non-hazardous energy, and beneficial energy and when alternative methods of energy control can be used. We will explain, using real-life application examples, how hazardous fluid power energy can be controlled using a variety of different methods. This will include enhancing traditional lockout procedures using trapped key interlocking to reduce the potential for human error and applications using functional safety.
Of course, there is not enough time to teach everything about machinery safety standards in a single presentation, so along with the above information, we will give attendees an understanding of where to find more education, guidance, and support in using the ANSI B11 series of standards for Machinery Safety.
This will be a valuable presentation with useful information both for those new to or considering the profession, as well as giving new insight into a complex area of safety to those who have been in the industry for some time. At Fortress we have a wealth of experience in machinery safety training as well as firsthand experience in standards development in the US and around the world leading to a unique position to share the latest updates (and more than a few funny anecdotes!).
