This online video course provides a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to ISO 12100, the internationally recognized standard for machine safety and risk assessment. The course is specifically designed for beginners who have little or no prior experience with ISO 12100 and who are looking for a clear, structured overview rather than a clause-by-clause explanation of the standard.
Throughout the course, learners will gain an understanding of the purpose and background of ISO 12100 and its role in achieving safe machine design. The course explains how ISO 12100 forms the foundation of machinery safety by providing a systematic methodology for hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk reduction throughout the complete machine lifecycle.
Key concepts including hazard identification, risk estimation, risk evaluation, inherently safe design measures, safeguarding, complementary protective measures, verification, validation, and the three-step method for risk reduction are introduced in a practical and easy-to-follow manner.
