Making Safety Simple
Machinery Risk Assessments ensure every piece of equipment in your facility operates safely and complies with laws and legistations.
We identify hazards, evaluate risks, and provide practical solutions to keep your people safe and your production running smoothly.
UKCA / CE Marking demonstrates that your machinery meets essential health and safety requirements for the UK and EU markets.
We guide you through the entire conformity process — from risk assessment to technical documentation — ensuring your equipment is compliant and correctly marked.
PUWER Assessments verify that all work equipment is safe, properly maintained, and compliant with UK legal requirements.
We assess every machine against the 24 PUWER regulations and provide clear, actionable steps to achieve full compliance.
Collaborative Application / Cobot Safety ensures humans and robots can work together safely and efficiently within shared workspaces.
We perform detailed risk, force, and pressure assessments to verify your cobot systems meet ISO/TS 15066 and EN ISO 10218-2 compliance standards.
Light Curtain Testing confirms that your machine safety systems detect hazards reliably and stop equipment instantly when needed.
We perform certified functional and performance tests to ensure your light curtains meet PUWER and EN ISO 13855 compliance standards.
We offer a range of machinery safety training courses covering topics such as PUWER compliance, risk assessment, robot safety, AGVs and cobot applications.
Each course is designed to build practical knowledge and confidence, helping your team apply safety standards effectively in real manufacturing environments.
