It can be difficult to make sure your machinery is running to current standards of Health and Safety, and to ensure that your workforce are clued up on Health and Safety practices. 

The issue of safety in the workplace is becoming increasingly important for machinery manufacturers who are forced to sort out a mass of continuously evolving standards, the focal point of which remains the Machinery Directive. In order to ensure conformity of the machine, the manufacturer must verify that it meets the safety requirements listed in the directive and guarantee compliance with the harmonised standards published in the European Union’s Official Journal and relating to the product in question. Generally, pneumatic products are not designed as safety components. Therefore, they are not directly covered under legislative scope. Pneumatic components however, are used frequently to satisfy safety related functions. Its often difficult trying to work out which parts would be most beneficial for your company, and how to integrate them into your current system.
