Collaborative Robot Safety
Contrary to popular opinion, all collaborative robots are notinherently safe. They must be engineered, configured and tested to meet specific safety requirements that can help to make them safe. In the U.S., the liability falls on employers and asset owners to comply with OSHA requirements to prevent injuries and provide a safe workplace. Collaborative robots present unique risks and can cause serious injuries if they are not configured and programmed with specific limitations.
In today’s highly competitive environment, understanding your risk and liability is essential to good business practices. Machinery hazards can be identified, assessed, and mitigated to limit your organizations exposure to risk. In this webinar, you will learn important considerations for implementing safe and successful collaborative robot projects.
