Fremont, California – Omron Safety Services offers manufacturers in metal fabrication and forming industries a cost effective inspection service to ensure that metal fabrication and forming machines such as press brakes, presses, shears, stamping and cutting machines are safeguarded to the regulations, and thus keeping employees safer while protecting their investment in machinery.
An experienced Omron safety system field inspector performs Omron’s Annual Machine Safety Check-up Service. This value-added service consists of an inspection of the machine’s safeguarding systems, including safety device applications, fixed and moveable guards and compliance, visibility of hazards, point-of-operation and perimeter guards, energy isolation devices, emergency stop, mechanical power and transmission guards. Omron’s field inspector also reviews any modifications to the machine’s location, uses, and addition/removal of peripheral or auxiliary equipment
After the inspection is complete, companies receive a safety system checkup report with pass/fail compliance for each inspection checkpoint, along with recommendations or corrective action recommendations for any failed checkpoints. All machines that are compliant with the current safeguarding regulations will receive a dated validation sticker to be placed on the machine.
