Key benefits include:

• Recognised Certification: Gain a City & Guilds Assured certificate and digital credential to support your professional development
• Complete Machinery Safety Lifecycle Understanding: From initial risk assessment through to implementation and compliance
• Clear Guidance on CE / UKCA Marking: Understand how Machinery, EMC, and Low Voltage Directives apply in practice
• Hands-On Practical Training: Work with safety circuits, guard systems, and fault monitoring to reinforce learning
• 28 Hours of CPD: Supporting ongoing professional development and accreditation

What’s Covered – A Structured 4-Day Programme

The course is designed to build knowledge progressively, combining theory, standards, and practical application.

Day 1 – Safety Regulations & CE Marking
An introduction to machinery safety, covering key legislation, CE/UKCA marking requirements, and the structure of harmonised standards.

Day 2 – Electrical Safety & Control Systems
Focus on BS EN 60204-1 and EN ISO 13849-1, alongside the principles of machine guarding and safety-related control systems.

Day 3 – Practical Wiring & Equipment Safety
Hands-on sessions including E-stop circuits, guard switches, two-hand control systems, and fault monitoring, as well as PUWER requirements.

Day 4 – Risk Assessment & Implementation
Application of ISO 12100 risk assessment methods, including practical approaches and implementation of safety measures.
