Machine Safety Compliance Audit (PUWER / Machine Safety)
Industrial machines, production lines and automated equipment are the foundation of corporate production and productivity. Our engineering office performs an independent engineering validation of your operational safety and legal compliance during a machine safety compliance audit. Our audit, based on the international PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) guidelines and domestic machine safety standards, aims to reveal mechanical, electrical and control technology risks, promoting the safe and accident-free operation of equipment during everyday live operation.
In the era of modern industrial automation, production lines and robot cells form extremely complex, integrated systems. In this environment, machine safety no longer means just the physical enclosure of rotating parts. If machines are not regularly inspected by independent experts, the operating routine can mask hidden deficiencies or arbitrary modifications that can lead to serious accidents, regulatory sanctions and forced shutdowns of production equipment at an unexpected moment.
Where do the real risks lie?
Control and software
The real dangers often lie deep within control systems. A faulty safety logic or a poorly parameterized safety PLC can lead to immediate disaster if the emergency stop does not respond properly.
Dangerous energies
During maintenance, the complete isolation of hydraulic and pneumatic energy, in addition to electricity, is also life-saving. Inadequate isolation/signaling points pose a direct risk to life.
Human-machine relationship
Due to operational routine, operators tend to bypass or bypass safety light curtains or door locks in order to work faster, which drastically increases the risk of accidents.

Documentation analysis
We start from existing manufacturer documentation, wiring diagrams and risk assessments to understand the designed safety level (PL/SIL levels) of the equipment.
Functional tests
We don't just check on paper: we perform physical and functional tests on site, check safety distances, protective covers, and the operation of emergency stop circuits.
Scheduled action plan
The proposal package provided at the end of the audit provides a clear, prioritized set of tasks for the maintenance and engineering team to ensure quick and efficient repairs.
This uncompromising engineering diagnostics and professional background provide a solid foundation for compliance with domestic and international occupational health and safety requirements. With our help, you can not only ensure legal compliance, but also actively support the high availability of your machinery, preventing unexpected downtime and guaranteeing safe, continuous production.
