We specialize in helping businesses meet regulatory OSHA compliance and ANSI specifications with a combination of physical machine guarding and electronic safety integration. See our onsite safety assessment options below that formulate the most practical safety solutions to fit your needs. With our expertise focused on injury prevention, we can design and implement appropriate solutions that meet these regulatory requirements, protecting workers and minimizing potential hazards. PowerSafe Automation's commitment to safety and adherence to industry standards ensures that businesses can confidently invest in us to increase productivity through a better work environment.
Machine Hazards: Onsite guarding review or hazard assessment consists of the evaluation of machine hazards needing to be mitigated to keep human interaction away from dangerous operations. Recommended solutions to mitigate machine hazards would be provided which include materials, installations, and integrations. This process does not include reports showing the level of hazards, PL ratings, or control reliability for each machine.
Functional Safety: Onsite assessment evaluating the functional safety system, schematics, and technical data to provide verification if the system meets or exceeds control reliability per OSHA, ANSI, and NFPA standards. This includes reports showing the level of hazards, PL ratings, or control reliability. Recommendations will be made to upgrade any devices found to be out of spec such as motor contactors and drives, relays, or valves to bring the performance level of your machine controls and functionality up to a PLd or PLe safety rating.
Stop time distance: Test the stop time of your machine and compare the placement of your presence sensing devices in relation to the machine hazards. Rule of thumb is 60” per second from hazard, which is quick for human reaction time, but not for machine reaction time.
Machine Acquisition: Don't overpay to acquire machines without proper guarding or safety equipment. Don't take delivery of a new machine without peace of mind that safety is not a concern. Whether it’s a virtual walkthrough or a site visit, we can help with our acquired machine safety assessment service.
Ergonomic Safety: An ergonomic review of a workspace is essential as it helps identify potential ergonomic hazards, such as poor workstation setup or repetitive tasks, and allows for the implementation of ergonomic solutions. We can help keep your team working within their “green zone.”
