Summary

Effective engineering controls play a vital role in workplace safety by minimizing risks and protecting workers from hazards. In this webinar, we will explore essential safety control measures used across industries, including fixed guarding, guard door interlocks, and presence-sensing devices. Our experts will discuss best practices for implementation and compliance with key safety standards such as ANSI B11.0, NFPA 79, ISO 12100, ISO 13855, and other essential safety regulations. Gain valuable insights into designing safer work environments and ensuring compliance with both local and international regulations.

Topics Covered:

  • The hierarchy of risk control measures
  • Implementing engineering controls such as separating and non-separating guarding to current standards
  • Safety design considerations for fixed guarding
  • Monitoring moving guards, including the application of locking and tamper resistance
  • Presence sensing devices and their proper placement
