Upcoming Live Online Training on Robot Safety

Machine Safety Specialists (MSS), a branch of Clarion Safety Systems, is preparing to conduct a comprehensive live online training course centered around mastering robot safety. Scheduled for May 14, 2026, this session will provide critical insights into the ever-evolving safety standards associated with industrial and collaborative robotics. Participants will gain knowledge and skills that are essential for ensuring safety in modern manufacturing settings.

MSS offers a robust framework for this training program, which is led by TÜV-certified safety engineers. The instructors will share practical guidance on complying with essential standards from OSHA, ANSI, and ISO, thereby equipping organizations to fulfill their safety commitments effectively. The course is a three-hour interactive session, specifically designed for various roles within engineering, safety, and operations. It will run from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM ET, making it accessible for professionals across different industries.

Course Content Overview

The curriculum is divided into two main modules, each focusing on a specific aspect of robot safety:
1. Collaborative Robot Safety: An exploration into safety principles and technical requirements for collaborative robots, including power and force limiting and human-robot interaction validation.
2. Industrial Robot Safety: A detailed look at safeguarding methods, cell design, risk assessment practices, safety control systems, and how to apply the updated ANSI and ISO standards relevant to industrial environments.

A distinctive feature of this course is the live Q&A and discussion segment, allowing participants to apply learned standards to their particular operational challenges. This interactive experience is invaluable for professionals engaged in designing, integrating, or operating robotic systems.

The training will be conducted by Ken Hackworth, PE, FS Eng., a seasoned professional with over 30 years of experience in industrial controls and functional safety systems. He is well-versed in both U.S. and international safety regulations and is a respected member of various safety standards committees. His background positions him as an ideal instructor for participants looking to deepen their understanding of robotic safety compliance.

Recommendations and Group Discounts

Although prior completion of MSS's Machine Safety and Risk Assessment Training is not mandatory, it is encouraged to maximize the training experience. Moreover, MSS offers a bundling option for registering in both classes and a 20% discount for groups of five or more participants.

Why Attend?

Understanding and implementing these safety standards is imperative for professionals who aim to enhance workplace safety while also boosting productivity. With the increasing integration of robotic systems into manufacturing processes, knowledge of safety regulations is more crucial than ever. This course serves as an essential step for organizations to ensure compliance and minimize risks associated with robotic operations.
