Safety assessments for machinery and technology

Do you operate machinery and technology? Leave nothing to chance and make sure you meet the statutory requirements for verifying the safety of machinery and technology, and thus ensure the safety of your equipment, your workplace and your workforce.

Verifying the safety of machinery means verifying that it meets requirements for safe operation, including operator safety, in accordance with applicable legislation and technical standards.

When is an assessment of the safety of machinery and technology necessary?

  • Before machinery is put into service, meaning before its first use in the workplace
  • When a machine is moved, after installation in its new location
  • Whenever exceptional circumstances occur that could jeopardise the safe operation of the equipment, such as a modification, fault, accident, exposure to natural phenomena or a long period of non-use
  • After conversion of machinery
  • At regular intervals specified in the technical requirements of the manufacturer or employer
  • When putting into operation equipment that has previously been operated in another EU country or outside the EU (when equipment is imported from abroad)
