Philips & machine safety

In the history of Philips a lot of equipment is developed to produce the Philips products, varying from high speed lamp making machines to high tech wafer scanners.  Philips always played a leading role in setting the standards and design rules to ensure safety for their employees.

Our approach Machine safety consultancy

We deliver solutions that strike the right balance between worker safety and process optimization

  • Machine safety assessment and improvement projects
    – Are your machines safe to use?
    – Does (the use of) your machines meet the requirements of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the Directive 2009/104/EC – use of work equipment?
  • Consultancy on CE marking
    – We support companies that want to demonstrate their products’ compliance with the requirements of applicable CE marking directives
  • Machine safety training; design for safety
  • Electrical safety training; NEN3140
  • Incident investigation from a ‘no blame’ perspective while providing sustainable solutions

Our approach

We implement a step-by-step approach towards “Workable Safety” with a strong focus on sustainable safety solutions.

  • During a first visit we perform a quick scan on machine safety to get an impression of the actual situation and culture.
  • Your employees will be intensively involved and during a machine safety workshop they learn to identify machine related hazards and increase awareness on signaling risks.
  • Solutions are worked out and the first improvements are implemented. In several sub-sequential visits the improvements are reviewed and the effect on safety, quality and production is evaluated.
  • Our approach does not stop with the delivery of a report, we build a lasting relation.

Benefit of this approach is being able to set priorities and initiating continues improvement.
