IICA to hold machinery safety forum in November

The Institute of Instrumentation Control and Automation (IICA) will be holding two-day seminars on the newly revised ISO/TC 199 Safety of Machinery standard and its applications in Sydney and Melbourne this November.

The four seminar speakers are the respective chairs of each technical committee for each standard and, as a result, have intimate knowledge to share on each of these topic areas.

Attendees will:

• hear about recently revised machinery standards and their application;
• learn what is new and what is planned for each of the standards mentioned;
• have the opportunity to meet with each of the speakers during breaks and discuss any topics of particular interest;
• get a better understanding of the latest requirements, new technologies emerging and how they might be applied to machinery safety applications;
• learn about the latest interpretation of safety requirements in a complex and dynamic machinery safety environment;
• understand the international requirements if they are designing and building machinery for export;
• gain some understanding about our local standard and the adoption of international standards into AS/NZS 4024;
• hear about how a machine bought from overseas will comply in Australia and New Zealand.
   

The IICA says attendees will leave the forum with a greatly improved understanding of new technologies and practices that will be beneficial in their workplaces or in the design of their machines.
