- Where do I need to locate my emergency stops?
Where do I need to locate my emergency stops?
This podcast is going to cover, not just where to locate your emergency stops around your machines or on the machine itself, but what else you need to consider. This is will help make the decision process much easier, and you will at least have some clarity of what to think about, when you need to think about installing emergency stops on or around machines.

10 min - Performance level risk assessments for control sytems
Description
Risk assessment for safety related parts of control systems, and how to approach those first decisions on what to do.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
This is an extra step, and builds on the information of the risk assessment, that you carried out at the beginning of the machine design.
This is not just for controls engineers, but for anyone who is involved with machinery, now has the ability and power to make a valuable input in the overall design of the safety related parts of the control system.

The 6 requirements for interlocking movable guards
KEY TAKEAWAYS
“the last thing you want is a door interlock that comes away, from the movable guard when operators are in the danger area.”
BEST MOMENTS
“because this is a critical safety feature and if it were to fail and cause an injury then it must meet the requirements for safety and reliability.”

11 min - Safety and Reliabiltiy of control systems
Description
The safety related part of the control system, is the brains, it's the intelligence, it's the part of your machine that will decide, if something is safe for you to interact with or not.
BEST MOMENTS
· 1 - Can they operate in the environment that you are using it?
· 2 - A fault in the hardware doesn’t create a hazardous situation.
· 3 - Errors in the control system logic do not lead to hazardous situations.
· 4 - Reasonably foreseeable human error during operation does not lead to hazardous situations.

12 min - The 7 bad arguments against machinery safety.
Description
The work of someone who is interested in improving safety of machinery isn't one, where you identify an issue, report it and then it smoothly gets done with no resistance or pushback. - If only life was that straight forward.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
You will get opposition, and challenge, from curious questioning to outright disagreement and everything in between, sometimes from the same person in the same conversation.
BEST MOMENTS
Are there people who don't seem to do very much, but have a lot of influence in the important decisions around safety at your place of work?

4 min - Contents of Machinery manuals Part 1
Description
Once you've got hold of your maintenance manual, and the type of information you should expect to see contained within it
I'm going to cover the first 8 area's that you might expect to see in the manual, not all of it will apply to your machine, but it will give you a good indication of what to expect, and it is up to you to either provide it, if you are a manufacturer or request it, if you are the buyer of the machine. This episode has been made to serve both.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· As a manufacturer you must state how the machine must be used, it sounds obvious, but you must state it, and be precise about the purpose of the machine.
· Once the operators are trained in the safe use of the machine, you can then think about what if any residual risks are around the machine.

About Machinery Safety Matters
From the publisher's feed
The series of these podcast is going to cover what machinery safety is, why it matters, how you can apply engineering solutions to solve problems while also keeping them safe and…
complaint with the relevant characteristics and requirements.
I have been in an engineering position, surrounded by machinery of some description since 1992, I have a strong background in electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines, and I have always had a curiosity to learn about engineering. I've studied it academically all the way up to degree, and post graduate level. I have travelled the far reaches of the globe and seen and assessed 1000's of machines in all different industries. I have consulted on the design following directives, regulations and standards on multimillion pound projects, and I still haven't learned everything there is to know. I think I will be an eternal student wanting to know more about machinery safety.
Machinery safety is a niche of general health and safety, and requires specialist knowledge to be able to apply it correctly. While occupational H&S safety concentrate on human behaviour, the management and safe systems of work, machinery safety deals with how that machine will manage the task it is being designed to do in a safe and reliable way. Its design should not to create any undue risk to the person using the machine. We all want a machine to be safe and not harm us or our friends and loved ones.
My aim is to share my experiences so that when you are faced with a scenario that will be discussed, in any one of the episodes, you will have the right steps to take. You might not, know the answer, but you will, have an idea on how to get to the right place, that is safe and compliant.
Health and Safety, but more specifically, machinery safety, is a learned skill, and with the right approach, framework and knowledge you will soon be on your way to making the right choices, if done correctly there is no need to fear or shy away from taking the first steps.
