About this event

A live 30-minute expert session on Running a Live Risk Assessment Workshop — Facilitation That Produces Usable Records (ISO 12100 — Machinery Risk Assessment). What We'll Cover: Where the team workshop sits in the ISO 12100 process and why design, operations, maintenance and safety roles must all be in the room Step-by-step facilitation: pre-reads and limits agreed up front, task-hazard walkthrough on drawings or at the machine, live scoring with the calibrated tool, parking-lot discipline How workshop output maps directly into the ISO 12100 documentation structure so no re-writing step loses information Common mistakes: engineer-only sessions, debating scores for hours without anchors, actions captured with no owner or hazard link The attendance, competence and decision records that show

About Functional Safety Foundations

This online session delivers expert-led instruction on the regulatory landscape and implementation approach for Functional Safety Foundations.

The cross-sector fundamentals underlying every functional safety standard: risk as severity × likelihood, the safety function concept, integrity levels, the safety lifecycle, and the split between random and systematic failures.

What it regulates

Shared vocabulary and reasoning: hazard → risk → risk reduction allocation → safety requirement → verified implementation → maintained integrity in operation.

Who must comply

Everyone entering the field — the conceptual base of the entire catalog.

Key requirements of Functional Safety Foundations

  • Hazard and risk fundamentals
  • Safety function anatomy: sensor-logic-actuator with defined safe state
  • Integrity ladders (SIL/PL/ASIL/DAL) as risk-reduction currencies
  • Random vs systematic failure treatment
  • Lifecycle and management of functional safety incl. competence

Key concepts: Functional Safety Foundations

Risk reduction allocation
Distributing required risk reduction among mechanical design, safeguards, control functions and procedures.
Functional safety management
Planning, competence, documentation and assessment wrapped around technical work.
Random vs systematic
Hardware wear-out/chance failures quantified statistically versus design/process errors controlled by rigor.
Safe state
The defined condition a function drives the equipment to on demand or fault.

Frequently asked questions: Functional Safety Foundations

Why can't testing alone prove safety?

Rare-event targets (like 1e-7/h) are unverifiable by test duration, and systematic errors evade random testing — hence the standards' dual machinery of quantified hardware analysis plus process rigor and independent assessment.
