Protect Your Workplace and Employees with Professional Risk Assessments
Risk assessment is a standardized method of identifying hazards and risk factors, analyzing and evaluating the likelihood of their occurrence, and determining ways to eliminate or control them. It is a thorough look at your workplace to identify those situations and processes that may cause harm, particularly to people.
Risk assessments are crucial in creating a safe and effective workplace environment.
Why Perform a Risk Assessment?
Risk assessments are essential and help identify hazards that can seriously injure operators and other employees. Robots and industrial machines can be dangerous for human operators even though planners do their due diligence. Mitigation helps manufacturers reduce the likelihood and severity of machine-related injuries.
Robotics Risk Assessment and Consultation
Robotic risk assessment is the process of identifying potential hazards associated with the use of robots and evaluating the level of risk they pose to workers. Hazards and required safety measures depend on the type of application since robots and robotic systems are unique and are used in different ways. By analyzing the robot's operation and maintenance as well as the environment in which it will operate, one can identify and mitigate risks through control measures to ensure a safe working environment for operators.
The PMC Process
In partnership with our clients, we develop a risk assessment that outlines the actions required to eliminate or control the identified hazards
- Define the objectives of the risk assessment and identify hazards and potential sources of harm
- Analyze the input data to identify the tasks involved and the potential hazards associated with each task
- Assess the likelihood and consequences of each identified hazard occurring
- Evaluate existing control measures to determine their effectiveness in mitigating the identified risks
- Implement and monitor the effectiveness of the control measures
- Review and update risk assessment periodically
