Objective of the training

CE-Kennzeichen

Unlike for CE representatives, the objective of the training “Functional Safety Engineer” is to teach you well-founded knowledge in the area of risk assessment in mechanical engineering. Alongside statutory machine safety principles(EU and international) you will be taught standard-compliant risk assessment tailored to your needs. You will also learn when a conversion constitutes a significant alteration and how you validate the requirements of functional safety. The course focus in this respect is on the standard-compliant safeguarding of machines for the prevention of personal injury, environmental and material damage.

The training course for qualification as a “functional safety engineer” comprises parts “Machine safety I+II”, which build on one another and provide comprehensive knowledge for day to day workings in the project and construction process.

 

Please notice that our trainings and seminars in english language are only offered as in-house courses. We ask you to contact us for individual offers.

Content of the training

The three-day training course “Functional Safety Engineer” focuses on the practical implementation of safety goals and acquiring the entire risk assessment process. The event consists of 3 modules in which many examples are worked on.

Module 1:

  • Location-dependent laws and standards (Europe => CE)
  • Standards as a Basis
  • Choice of protection (selection of suitable procedures)
  • Supporting standards
  • General requirements
  • Best Practice

Module 2:

  • Fixed and movable guards
  • Design of safety-related parts of control systems (functional safety – SRP / CS)
  • Use of special types of SRP / CS

Module 3:

  • SISTEMA Introduction
  • Validation of PLr with SISTEMA
  • Summary, questions and practical training
  • Final examination

Benefits
