Laidler leads plant and machinery safety zone at Health and Safety '11

Laidler Associates, a UK machinery safety and compliance consultant, will once again be sponsoring the Plant & Machinery Safety Zone at Health and Safety '11 - South which takes place at Sandown Park Racecourse, Esher, Surrey on 1 and 2 March 2011.

Laidler Associates, which specialises in machinery safety legislation and risk assessments, will deliver a presentation at Health and Safety '11 - South on Practical machinery safety including guarding issues. Using its virtual reality system to re-create a typical working environment Laidler is able to bring to life the problems that are present and demonstrate how to provide safe solutions in this area.

Focusing on the practical nature of the zone, Laidler will also demonstrate how to complete and document a PUWER 98 (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 98) assessment or CE Marking to the Machinery and Low Voltage Directives. The presentation will also cover the requirements of the new Machinery Directive, 2006/42/EC in this regard.
