Machine Safety Training
Training delivered through our trusted TÜV-accredited training partner — scoped and arranged by Maquina.
PUWER requires that all people who use, supervise or manage work equipment receive adequate training — and that training is refreshed so competence keeps pace with changes to machinery, procedures and legislation. Generic online modules rarely cover your specific machines, your guarding layout or the way your maintenance team actually isolates equipment.
Maquina Technical Services provides machine safety training for UK manufacturers through our trusted TÜV-accredited training partner. We work with you to define the right course, audience and delivery format, then coordinate training that reflects your production environment — whether that follows a PUWER assessment, a new safety system installation, or a standalone competence programme.
You deal with Maquina as your single point of contact for machinery safety. Our engineering team understands your equipment, and we brief the training partner on your machines, procedures and compliance context so delegates receive accredited, practical instruction — not a generic syllabus disconnected from your site.
Training Available Through Our Partner
PUWER and Safe Use of Machinery
Awareness training for operators, supervisors and team leaders covering legal duties under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, safe operating procedures, guarding and interlocks, emergency stop, reporting defects and the limits of operator intervention. Ideal for onboarding, refresher programmes and post-incident reinforcement.
Machinery Risk Assessments
Hands-on training for engineering, maintenance and health & safety teams on hazard identification, risk estimation and risk reduction to EN ISO 12100 principles. Includes worked examples on your own equipment where practicable, so delegates leave able to assess machines they encounter daily — not just classroom case studies.
UKCA / CE Machinery Conformity Awareness
For purchasing, projects and engineering teams: what conformity marking means, supplier obligations under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, what to look for when buying new or used equipment, and how conformity at supply relates to ongoing PUWER duties in use.
Functional Safety and Safety Control Systems
Introduction to safety-related control systems for designers, electricians and maintenance engineers — category and performance level concepts to BS EN ISO 13849-1, common architectures (e-stops, interlocks, safety relays, contactor monitoring), and what validation evidence looks like in practice.
Isolation, Lockout and Controlled Access
Task-specific training on safe isolation for maintenance — lockable isolators, key-in-pocket and RFID access systems, controlled operation procedures and multi-person working. Particularly relevant for maintenance departments, schools, universities and training workshops where controlled machine access is required.
Control Panel and Electrical Safety Awareness
Practical orientation to machine electrical systems aligned to BS EN 60204-1 — reading schematics, understanding panel layout, safe working practices and basic fault-finding discipline. Can be tailored to panels built by Maquina, including use of panel identification codes and supplied documentation for support.
