Schmersal UK and Laidler Associates are coming together to run a short series of machinery safety seminars.
Practical solutions are the focal issue of the day and so a new, virtual reality environment has been produced to represent as accurately as possible a genuine production environment.
Throughout the day, delegates will be able to assess commonly found hazards and correct them, taking the environment from unsafe to safe.
The first seminars will be held during the week commencing June 21st at Laidler's offices in Billingham on Tuesday June 22nd and at Schmersal's customer service centre in Malvern on Thursday June 24th.
This Ohome and away1 system will be repeated in early Autumn.
