Regulatory focus
The Machinery Safety Management System certification scheme was created based on the systemic approach of ISO (International Organization of Standardization) management system standards, with the aim of enhancing a set of best practices to minimize risks associated with the use of machinery.
Starting from European and national legislation on workplace safety, to the essential health and safety requirements applicable for the free circulation of "machinery" (understood as work equipment), the scheme also takes into account the relevant mandatory references applicable to machinery, as well as possible interpretative guides and opinions issued by competent authorities.
The standard also has a particular focus on the analysis of Organizational Behaviour Management, the discipline based on scientific laws explaining human behaviour that allows its prediction and control.
