AWARENESS MATTERS
Often, companies just need help to know what to do and how to provide proper machine guarding. It is often overwhelming to consider the obligations, requirements, and options that are present. Pieper Automation’s Safety Team is ready to perform on-site safety audits by reviewing the existing machine safety, make recommendations as needed, and provide guidance on risk reduction mitigation methods, such as; mechanical guards, control programming changes, safety hardware and training.
After completing our assessment, we deliver a comprehensive personalized machine safeguarding report that clearly documents each piece of equipment with corresponding observations, machine safety or compliance issues, and a risk ranking to help you prioritize your safety plan. We determine the potential risk of each machine based on three key factors of Frequency of use, Probability of injury and Severity of harm.
As your full-service safety consultant, we walk you through each part of a machine safety assessment and help you understand the best options for creating a safety plan that will help fortify your workplace against risk. We'll then help you implement that plan so you can be fully compliant with a safer workplace that strengthens your bottom line.
ENGINEERING MATTERS
