What Are Safety-Related Control Systems?
Safety-related control systems are designed to perform safety functions on machinery, helping to reduce risks to operators and other people working around equipment. These systems can include safety devices, control components and associated circuitry that respond to hazardous situations or prevent machinery from operating when specific safety conditions are not met.
ST&L works with businesses to modify and upgrade existing safety-related control systems where machinery, production processes or safety requirements have changed. Our engineers consider the existing equipment and safety arrangements before determining the appropriate approach, including requirements relating to PUWER.
Safety Control System Modifications and Upgrades
Existing machinery may require changes to its safety-related control system when equipment is modified, new safety devices are introduced, or the way machinery is used changes.
ST&L can support with:
• Safety-related control system modifications
• Upgrades to existing safety control systems
• Implementation of safety functions and associated controls
• Integration of safety devices into existing machinery
• Support with machinery modifications where safety controls need to be updated
• Control system testing and assessment of safety-related control arrangements
The appropriate solution will depend on the machinery, existing control system, and specific safety requirements of the application.
Technical Support
Every machinery application presents different safety considerations, so our engineers take the time to understand the equipment and the changes required before recommending an approach. We can support you through the modification or upgrade process, from assessing the existing system through to implementation and testing.
Our control system work forms part of our wider machinery safety services, giving businesses access to technical support across different aspects of machinery safety.
