Risk Management of Machinery and Work Equipment

UNDERSTANDING the legislation, directives and machinery safety standards that apply to machinery and work equipment can be a difficult task. Any organization that uses or supplies machinery as part of its operations needs a clear understanding of what is required for legal compliance, while employers and staff in any field of work need to be familiar with their rights and duties in the workplace under new legislation.

Combining all the relevant information needed to manage the risks associated with machinery and work equipment, a new book entitled Risk Management of Machinery and Work Equipment, published by BSI British Standards, provides an essential guide for anyone concerned with machinery safety and risk management, especially within industries with higher risk profiles.

Illustrated with real-life case studies, the book examines common queries arising from the various standards, regulations and best practices relating to the safe design and use of work equipment in industry.

According to BSI British Standards, the book can help manage risk in the workplace by providing the following: answers to the most frequently asked machinery safety questions; practical health and safety solutions in a simple and straightforward format; a common-sense approach on how to meet the stringent legal requirements; and guidance in line with the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 (implementing Directive 2006/42/EC), the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, and harmonized standards, including BS EN ISO 13849.
