Description
Overview
This risk assessment course is designed to provide the stage machinery designer, the system integrator and the operator working for the entertainment industry with an in-depth understanding of the risk assessment process and the fundamental steps to carry out a risk assessment.
Through step-by-step lessons – using case studies and with the help of our StageDB application – you will learn the requirements in the Machinery Directive and the guidelines from EN 17206:2020. The course also focuses on the identification of hazard types, the estimation and the evaluation of the safety requirements of the implemented risk reduction measures.
The course explores the fundamentals of the risk assessment, the architectures, and the tools. You will also navigate through the entire risk assessment process. By the end of the course, you will have a solid understanding of the core responsibilities in stage machinery risk management and you will have drafted, discussed, and compiled a full Machinery or Scenic Motion risk assessment.
