About this event
Machinery risk assessment can feel abstract until you need to make a real decision about guarding, foreseeable misuse, or residual risk. This session is designed to make ISO 12100 practical: a clear, structured walkthrough of how to think about machine hazards, evaluate risk, and document your reasoning in a way that supports safer design and better communication. Whether you work directly with machinery or you support teams that do, this virtual event gives you a focused space to build confidence in a core safety process. You’ll leave with a stronger grasp of how a risk assessment is actually performed, what good judgment looks like in context, and where ISO 12100 fits into the bigger picture. About the Event This is an online session centered on how to perform a machinery risk assessment
Who should attend
This is for people who want a clearer, more practical understanding of how machinery risk assessment actually works. - **You design, build, integrate, or modify machinery** and want to make better safety decisions earlier in the process. - **You work in EHS, compliance, or machine safety** and need a stronger framework for identifying hazards, evaluating risk, and discussing controls with technical teams. - **You support documentation, validation, or CE-related machinery processes** and want to better understand the reasoning behind a risk assessment, not just the paperwork it produces. - **You’re an engineer, technician, or project lead** who has been involved in guarding, safeguarding, or design reviews and wants a more structured ISO 12100 approach. - **You’ve seen inconsistent or superficial risk assessments** and want a more disciplined way to evaluate machinery hazards and residual risk. - **You’re newer to ISO 12100** and want an accessible entry point that helps you build confidence without assuming expert-level prior knowledge. If your work touches machine design, safeguarding, or safety decisions, you should feel right at home here.
