From investment strategy to globally compliant machinery acquisition
This training supports professionals involved in purchasing and specifying machinery, helping them integrate safety, compliance and operational requirements from the earliest stages of decision-making. The course also addresses applicable global and local machinery safety regulations and requirements, such as the European Machinery Directive, the European Machinery Regulation, OSHA requirements, Brazilian NR-12, OTR and other relevant legal frameworks or standards.
Making safer and smarter investment decisions
Participants will learn how to evaluate machinery risks before purchase, define clear safety requirements and align procurement processes with international standards, supplier responsibilities, technical documentation and applicable regulatory expectations. This helps organizations avoid costly redesigns, commissioning delays, missing safeguards and compliance issues after the machine has already been purchased.
