Increase Your Business Value with Machine Safety Standards and Risk Assessment

This course provides an overview of regulations, norms, and standards in the major markets that produce and purchase packaging and processing machinery. Some have changed and can impact your machinery solution value; non-compliance can prevent you from capturing business in your target markets. Risk Assessment training is integrated as a core approach to improving value while addressing these regulatory and normative requirements.

Who Should Attend?

The program is open to equipment suppliers and end users. Suppliers who have responsibility for conformance to the ANSI/PMMI B155.1-2011 standard include:

The manufacturer.
Manufacturer's agent.
Representative or distributor and resellers.
Installers.
Modifiers.
Rebuilders.
Integrators of packaging machinery.

When the end user performs these functions they are considered to be a supplier. Attendees may include engineering managers and engineers and personnel responsible for health and safety and management safety responsible for CE compliance, product safety and productivity.
