The series of these podcast is going to cover what machinery safety is, why it matters, how you can apply engineering solutions to solve problems while also keeping them safe and complaint with the relevant characteristics and requirements.
I have been in an engineering position, surrounded by machinery of some description since 1992, I have a strong background in electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines, and I have always had a curiosity to learn about engineering. I've studied it academically all the way up to degree, and post graduate level. I have travelled the far reaches of the globe and seen and assessed 1000's of machines in all different industries. I have consulted on the design following directives, regulations and standards on multimillion pound projects, and I still haven't learned everything there is to know. I think I will be an eternal student wanting to know more about machinery safety.
Machinery safety is a niche of general health and safety, and requires specialist knowledge to be able to apply it correctly. While occupational H&S safety concentrate on human behaviour, the management and safe systems of work, machinery safety deals with how that machine will manage the task it is being designed to do in a safe and reliable way. Its design should not to create any undue risk to the person using the machine. We all want a machine to be safe and not harm us or our friends and loved ones.
My aim is to share my experiences so that when you are faced with a scenario that will be discussed, in any one of the episodes, you will have the right steps to take. You might not, know the answer, but you will, have an idea on how to get to the right place, that is safe and compliant.
Health and Safety, but more specifically, machinery safety, is a learned skill, and with the right approach, framework and knowledge you will soon be on your way to making the right choices, if done correctly there is no need to fear or shy away from taking the first steps.

Description
Once you've got hold of your maintenance manual, and the type of information you should expect to see contained within it
I'm going to cover the first 8 area's that you might expect to see in the manual, not all of it will apply to your machine, but it will give you a good indication of what to expect, and it is up to you to either provide it, if you are a manufacturer or request it, if you are the buyer of the machine. This episode has been made to serve both.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
· As a manufacturer you must state how the machine must be used, it sounds obvious, but you must state it, and be precise about the purpose of the machine.
· Once the operators are trained in the safe use of the machine, you can then think about what if any residual risks are around the machine.
