Tonex Safety Engineering Training Bootcamp

Tonex Safety Engineering Training Bootcamp

The objective of safety engineering is designing workplaces to prevent accidents.

Effective safety engineering is important in all environments but especially in workplaces and factories that use machinery, chemicals, and other potentially hazardous elements.

The multidisciplinary nature of safety engineering means that a very broad array of professionals should be actively involved in accident prevention or safety engineering.

Safety engineering concepts provide the structure for both safety and industrial design engineers to develop intrinsically safe equipment, systems, processes and facilities. When employed early in a design process, safety engineers provide insight into how people will interface with the equipment and facility design.

Analysts say that ideally, early on safety design will ensure not only safe design for people, but also, a safe operational concept that will carry over into capabilities for the facility to handle industrial and non-industrial incidents and minimize the cause-effect.

Analysts point out that it’s important for safety engineering to start during the design of a system or product development.

Safety engineers often make use of computer models, prototypes, or recreations of a situations to assess the hazards and risks. They also take into consideration a number of factors that may affect the safety of a situation or product, including design, technical safety, material reliability, legislation, and human factors.

The notion of safe design also has important ethical dimensions, such as that of determining the responsibility that a designer has for future uses (and misuses) of the designed object.

A commonly recommended first step in safety engineering is to minimize the inherent dangers in the process as far as possible. This means that potential hazards are excluded rather than just enclosed or otherwise coped with.

Consequently, dangerous substances or reactions are replaced by less dangerous ones, and this is preferred to using the dangerous substances in an encapsulated process. Fireproof materials are used instead of inflammable ones, and this is considered superior to using flammable materials but keeping temperatures low.

The benefits of good safety engineering are multi-layered. A safe and healthy workplace not only protects workers from injury and illness, it can also lower injury/illness costs, reduce absenteeism and turnover, increase productivity and quality, and raise employee morale.

Safety is good for business, and besides, protecting workers is the right thing to do.

Tonex Safety Engineering Training Bootcamp Course by Tonex

Tonex safety engineering training bootcamp is a comprehensive training package that covers all the machinery safety regulations, training, standard requirements, and risk assessment.

This intensive hands-on workshop will train you to:

• Stay safe and healthy and prevent any incident
• Act effectively, properly, and safely if incident occurs
• Analyze the incident and identify the causes of the accident
• Reduce the risk of accidents
• To eliminate the causes of the incident and avoid it from reoccurring

The Tonex Safety Engineering Training Bootcamp is conducted as an interactive presentation in which all the participants are actively involved in group activities, hands-on workshops, and case study practices. The seminar includes 10 sections in which both lectures and workshops are covered. Each section finishes with a hands-on workshop that allows participants to practice and strengthen what they are thought in that section through coaching our instructors. The bootcamp ends with an open book exam led to attaining certification.

In addition to the safety and risk assessment process training, this seminar will provide CE marketing training. CE marketing training is the last step of the compliance evaluation process to the EU’s Machinery Directive. Such process includes:

• Risk analysis of the machinery through its lifecycle
• Achieving safety millstones by design and production
• Applying best practice to guarantee the machinery safety
• Gathering information in regards to design, test, and construction process and all the measures required for the machine to conform with the key requirements of all the associated product safety directives in a technical file, and be kept for 10 years
• Asserting the machine’s compliance with product safety regulations (Declaration of Conformity), accompanying the machine to the customers
• Preparation an Operator’s Manual for the customer, in their own language

Audience

Tonex Safety Engineering Training Bootcamp is a 4-day hands-on seminar designed for managers, engineers, scientists, technicians, and all individuals who are involved with running machinery at the manufacturing companies. Some portion of this training is required by law for whoever working on site, with or around machinery.
