Rockford Systems reopens Machine Safeguarding Seminars to in-person learning
- March 30, 2021
- News Release
- Safety
Rockford Systems LLC has announced plans to reopen its in-person Machine Safeguarding Seminars following the suspension of live learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The first live seminar is scheduled to restart April 21-23, with additional seminars set for July 21-23 and Oct. 20-22, all held at the company's training center in Rockford, Ill.
The seminars instruct professionals on managing a company’s risk profile and avoiding business disruption. Experienced instructors teach attendees how to interpret the performance language of OSHA 29 CFR, ANSI B-11, and NFPA-79 standards as each relates to specific machine applications and production requirements. Attendees receive extensive course materials, a guard opening scale, a grinder gauge, and lunch for two days.
“We are very excited to offer live machine safeguarding training with appropriate measures consistent to protect the health of all attendees,” said Roger Harrison, director of training. "Our live seminars combine classroom discussion with demonstrations of machines under power, so attendees will again be able to have hands-on experience with a variety of machinery safeguarding systems.”
During the pandemic Rockford Systems switched to an online, interactive platform for the seminars. This online program has been expanded to a monthly schedule. Online and in-person criteria are identical in content, although the online segments are two hours long per day for five days.
