Machine Safety Webinar Series (Part 1)
This webinar will review hazard analysis, risk assessment, and safety requirements specification activities. We will look at the guidance in both IEC 62061 and ISO 13849, as well as industry practice to gain a broad understanding of techniques that are currently in use. Qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative techniques for evaluating risk will be explained and demonstrated through examples. The information needed for an effective safety requirements specification will also be reviewed and documented.
