Machine safety: Understand, evaluate and reduce your risks
Machine safety is a perennial “hot topic” in industrial plants. Employers are concerned about their responsibility for making their plants a safe place for their employees to work. The consultants who work with them to ensure this must maintain development standards which keep them at the leading edge of technological advancement and in conformity with all applicable standards.
For several years, Axium inc. has been using their own internally developed methodology in the design and implementation of automation solutions in a wide variety of manufacturing enterprises, in several industrial sectors and throughout the Americas. Use of a consistent methodology ensures conformity with international standards on machine safety and risk analysis, thus providing peace of mind to customers and end-users.
