Advanced AS/NZS 4024 Machine Safety Training - 2 Days

Course Information
Spend two days in an AS/NZS 4021 Machine Safety seminar alongside others from industries similar to yourself and hosted by a specialist in Machine Safety and the relevant standards.  

Learn about the revisions to AS/NZS 4024 (19 parts), two newly added parts as well as withdrawn parts.

  • We cover the new application guide and highlight the mandatory requirements within and the importance of the interrelationship between the AS/NZS 4024 series.
  • Learn about fault exclusion, good design principles to minimise attempts to defeat, safety distance calculation for presence sensing safety devices, the European vs Australian/ New Zealand standards hierarchy, how Performance Levels verses Categories affect your machine safety design decisions and much more.
