About this event
Residual risk is where machine safety decisions get real. ISO 12100 gives you the framework, but applying it in practice often comes down to judgment, communication, and being able to explain why a risk remains and what should happen next. This virtual session focuses on one of the most useful tools in that conversation: the risk graph. About the Event This online meetup is built around a practical topic that comes up again and again in risk assessment work: how to evaluate residual risk clearly and consistently using the risk graph within an ISO 12100 context. Rather than treating the standard as abstract guidance, the discussion centers on how people actually use it to make decisions, document rationale, and communicate outcomes with confidence. The format is well suited to a community-o
Who should attend
This is for people who want a clearer, more practical handle on how residual risk is evaluated and communicated in an ISO 12100 context. - You work in **machine safety, risk assessment, or functional safety** and want to sharpen how you use structured methods like the risk graph. - You are an **engineer, designer, or technical lead** whose decisions affect hazard reduction and need a better way to think through the risk that remains after controls are applied. - You support **compliance, EHS, quality, or regulatory work** and want stronger language and reasoning for reviewing or discussing residual risk. - You are involved in **documentation, validation, or approval workflows** and need to understand how teams justify risk decisions in a consistent, defensible way. - You have used ISO 12100 before but still find the **judgment calls around residual risk** difficult in real situations. - You value **peer discussion and community learning** and want to compare approaches with others dealing with similar machinery safety questions. If you have ever wanted a more grounded, less abstract discussion of how risk evaluation actually works in practice, you will likely get a lot from this session.
