Outsource Machine Safety Compliance to STI Machine Services
Many companies appreciate the value of outsourcing special services such as engineering, purchasing, maintenance, and limited subassembly manufacturing to partners who specialize in these areas. STI Machine Services is uniquely equipped to be that partner when it comes to machine safety compliance.
Organizations and EH&S personnel are under increasing pressure to improve performance and reduce costs, while having to prove compliance in the face of complex and ever changing environmental, health and safety regulations. EH&S personnel are faced with creating plans, procedures, training, analysis/evaluations, reports and documentation to ensure compliance with air, water, land, and chemical standards, and OSHA regulations. This can seem a daunting task, but with modern tools such as software systems that include the latest EH&S requirements, reporting, procedure writing and documentation modules, the trained EH&S professional is often able to successfully perform these duties.
But what happens when something is out of compliance, or the tools simply aren't available to determine whether or not standards and regulations are being satisfied? At this point the EH&S manager needs help - not only to determine if the machine or process is in compliance, but to bring the noncompliant items into conformity with the appropriate standards and regulations.
Consider the questions that arise from OSHA and ANSI standards related to machine safeguarding. A machine or process line may have safeguards installed - but are they installed correctly? Are they interfaced correctly? Are they the right guards to ensure maximum safety for the application - without sacrificing productivity?
The answers require a thorough knowledge of the applicable standards, as well as understanding of the latest in guarding technologies and knowledge of the application and its required safety interface based on the assessed risk level. This is often an unrealistic expectation for the EH&S professional who is already overburdened with day-to-day responsibilities. The EH&S professional needs a partner he can count on to ensure compliance with machine safety.
STI Machine Services offers this unique service. It is designed to help the Corporate EH&S manager accomplish his mission of documented compliance with the applicable machine guarding standards.
This type of service is not a core competency of manufacturers, but it is the driving force behind everything we do.
STI Machine Services provides comprehensive machine safety services, including safety system design and review, safety integration engineering, the creation of corporate machine safety standards, machine safety training, risk assessment and risk reduction surveys, and complete turn-key safety system integration. All designed to help the EH&S person achieve their machine and process safety objectives. |
