Annual machine safety checkup protects employees, equipment investment

Omron Safety Services offers manufacturers in the metal fabrication and forming industries an inspection service to help ensure that machines such as press brakes, presses, shears, and cutting machines are safeguarded to applicable regulations.

With this service, an Omron safety system field inspector checks the machine’s safeguarding systems, including safety device applications, fixed and movable guards and compliance, visibility of hazards, point-of-operation and perimeter guards, energy-isolation devices, emergency stop, mechanical power, and transmission guards. The inspector also reviews any modifications to the machine’s location, uses, and addition/removal of peripheral or auxiliary equipment.

After the inspection is complete, a report is generated with pass/fail compliance for each inspection checkpoint, along with corrective action recommendations for failed checkpoints. All machines that are compliant with the current safeguarding regulations receive a dated validation sticker to be placed on the machine.
