Risk Consulting & Training
Full-Service Machine Guarding: From Risk Assessment Consulting to Safeguarding Solutions
Depending on where your organization is in its journey towards increased safety and compliance, you may have an interest in machine safety and risk assessment consulting or training services.
That’s where our colleagues at Machine Safety Specialists (MSS) can help.
MSS is a machine safety and compliance consulting practice that’s part of the Clarion Safety Systems family of companies, just like Arrow. The MSS team offers machine safety and risk assessments, online and onsite machine safety training, and related services to help you understand and comply with safety regulations. They make straightforward and unbiased recommendations to improve safety. After working with the MSS team, Arrow can then seamlessly develop and integrate safeguarding solutions, if that’s a next step identified or that you decide to pursue.
MSS at a Glance:
Optimize Your Safeguarding Plans
Preparing individualized machine safeguarding plans and specifications for your machine or manufacturing process can be a challenge. Knowing that your staff is fully trained on how to safely operate all machines, how to spot hazards in the facility, and how to properly use safety devices in case of an emergency is crucial to prevent avoidable accidents and injuries. Safeguarding plans are also helpful in communicating technical details to subcontractors – such as fabricators, integrators, and construction companies – who design and install the machine safeguarding systems.
Our colleagues at MSS can have you prepared for your corporate safety, insurance, and OSHA inspections with a comprehensive machine safeguarding plan completed by their TÜV certified functional safety engineers and reviewed by our licensed professional engineers. After your safeguarding plan is in place, you have the option to have our Arrow team seamlessly manufacture and implement these plans.
Complete Your Risk Assessments
For U.S.-based companies, a written workplace hazard assessment is required by law; in section 1910.132(d)(2), OSHA mandates a workplace hazard analysis to be performed. Without a risk assessment in place, you’re not only in violation of this, but you also may be failing to safeguard your employees and your company’s liability.
The seasoned, TÜV certified safety engineers at MSS can guide you through your risk assessment options, in order to help increase safety, fulfill this OSHA requirement, and follow today’s ANSI/RIA and ISO best practice standards, including ANSI B11.0, ANSI Z244.1, ANSI B11.19, ANSI B155.1, ANSI / RIA R15.06, and NFPA 79. We specialize in assessments for fixed industrial machinery, fixed power lab equipment, automated and custom industrial machinery, and robotics and machine tools. The Arrow team can utilize your completed risk assessments to manufacture new guarding and control systems based on the quality of the risk assessment findings.
Train Your Team on Machine Safety
MSS provides a variety of training courses to empower and protect your team. Our training covers advanced machine safety issues for automated machinery, including OSHA nuances, control reliability and functional safety, application of ISO safety standards, risk reduction, risk management, and liability considerations.
Our machine safety and risk assessment training will take you and your company to a new level. We provide you with clear, detailed safeguarding answers for today’s highly automated machinery.
