Entry knowledge

Knowledge is required at the bachelor's degree in technical field. Furthermore, knowledge of industrial automation and PLC programming are required too.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The credit is granted on the following conditions:
1. Lab project and presentation - min. 10 points from 15 points
2. Practical test - max. 15 points.

For exam is subject to the following conditions:
1. Oral part - min. 35 points from 70 points.
There are checking the individual work on assigned tasks and practical test in the lab exercise. There is successful completion of written and oral part of the exam.

Aims

The aim of the course is to give students enough knowledge to be able to understand the principles of the machine safety. The course deals with methodologies for assessing and minimizing risks in accordance with applicable standards. Another aim is to acquaint the students with the issues of process safety. The lab project has focused on risk assessment technology, design, risk minimization, design safety features and their validation.
Students will know the legislative requirements for machine safety. They can define the types of risks and assessment methods, risk assessment and the use of safety features. Students will be able to use the methodology of PL by EN ISO 13849-1 and SIL according to EN 62061. They can define and propose safety measures to reduce risks. Students will focus on process safety according to relevant standards.
