Recorded Webinars: Should I Use a Task- or Equipment- Based Machine Risk Assessment?
Serious injuries continue to pose a major challenge to manufacturing and related industries, and in 2018 6,200 non-fatal amputations occurred in the US, with 58% of these involving machinery2. To reduce the occurrence of these events, organizations must start with an accurate understanding of the hazards present. International standards such as ISO 12100 Safety of machinery — General principles for design — Risk assessment and risk reduction provide best practices and guidelines for conducting machinery risk assessments consistently. Two common approaches have been taken to complete these assessments: task-based and equipment-based. This webinar will evaluate both machinery risk assessment approaches in detail and provide information about the strengths and weaknesses for each approach, as well as recommendations for when to use each type of risk assessment, and how to align the risk assessment results with other machine safety activities.

Recorded Webinars: How Site Operations and Maintenance Impact Equipment Failure Rates
Many think about an equipment’s failure rate as a fixed parameter. In fact, the same equipment will exhibit various failure rates depending on the operations and maintenance practices at a given site. We have found through analysis of field failure data that identical equipment can exhibit quite different failure rates at different sites even within the same company. This webinar explains this phenomenon, demonstrates how these differences can be measured and predicted, and illustrates how predictive methods can be used effectively to perform cost/benefit analysis of proposed changes in operating and maintenance practices before the changes are implemented.
Blog Entry: If an Alarm Occurs and the Operator doesn’t Ack it, was it really an Alarm?
Similar to the thought experiment “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”, we ask - If an alarm is generated, and the operator fails to acknowledge it, was it really an alarm? A prevalence of unacknowledged alarms…
