About this event
If you build machines, you already know that risk reduction can turn into a tangle of checklists, assumptions, and last-minute design changes. This session is built to make ISO 12100 feel usable: a practical, step-by-step workflow you can apply to real machine design decisions without getting buried in theory. Whether you are new to the standard or trying to make your current process more consistent, this virtual event is designed to help you connect the standard to everyday engineering work. You will come away with a clearer way to think about hazards, risk assessment, and design choices from the start of a project through documentation. About the Event ISO 12100 is often referenced as the foundation for machine risk assessment and risk reduction, but many teams still struggle with how to
Who should attend
This is for people who want to make machine risk assessment and risk reduction more practical, repeatable, and useful in real project work. - You are a **machine builder, mechanical engineer, controls engineer, or design engineer** who wants a clearer workflow for applying ISO 12100 during design and development. - You work in **machine safety, compliance, or EHS** and want a better way to connect the standard to day-to-day engineering decisions instead of treating it as a stand-alone exercise. - You are responsible for **risk assessments, design reviews, safeguarding decisions, or technical documentation** and want a more defensible and organized process. - You are part of a team that struggles with **inconsistent safety methods across projects** and need a shared framework that is easier to communicate internally. - You are **newer to ISO 12100** and want a grounded introduction that helps you understand how the pieces fit together in practice. - You already know the standard at a high level, but you want to **refine your workflow, reduce rework, and compare approaches with peers** facing similar machine-building challenges.
