Work must be organised so that hazards for physical and mental health are avoided. It’s something that should be a matter of course when operating industrial plant and machinery, but all too often is not given sufficient attention in practice, whether consciously or unconsciously. For the best possible protection of your employees, you can have Pilz carry out a hazard assessment to check the hazard levels on your machines and examine how accesses must be secured. In addition to appropriate access permissions on safety gates and suitably qualified personnel, the use of operating modes is another adequate measure. Operating mode selection can be controlled with functional safety using PITmode products. This provides a technical guarantee that each employee can only carry out the work for which they are qualified, thus offering maximum protection against hazards and accidents. http://www.pilz.com
