Resource Environmental Associates - Training - Machine and Process Safeguarding

In Ontario, contraventions of regulatory requirements relating to the safeguarding of machines accounts for a substantial share of all Ministry of Labour prosecutions. From our perspective, the basic problem is that the general level of knowledge in the industrial sector relating to machine safeguarding remains low. We created this course with the goal of improving this situation. The curriculum includes: classes and categories of guards and process safety devices; regulatory requirements and prosecution histories; decision logic and design steps for machine and process safeguarding; technical features, requirements and specifications for selected safeguarding approaches; key industry standards, practical case experience; evaluative tools and checklists; and design exercises. An excellent follow-up for the Pre-start Health and Safety Review course.

This course has been awarded:
1 MP by the Canadian Registration Board of Occupational Hygienists (CRBOH)
0.5 CMPs by the Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP)
1 Safety CMP by the American Board of Industrial Hygienists (ABIH)
