Process implementation • pilot on one machine

Implement a machinery risk assessment process
your team can repeat

We bring structure to roles, working methods, and decision records using the ISO 12100 methodology. Your team completes a pilot on a selected machine and leaves with an agreed process ready to use on future projects.

A procedure is not enough when every project assesses risk differently.

In many businesses, machinery risk assessment knowledge is split between mechanical designers, control engineers, health and safety specialists, and technical documentation teams. Nobody agrees when the assessment should begin, who owns each decision, or exactly what evidence must be recorded.

We implement the process using a real client project. We do not write a generic procedure destined for a ring binder. We work through the assessment together, expose the gaps, and establish who makes technical decisions, who reviews them, and where the supporting rationale is recorded.

This service is not machinery certification and does not transfer the manufacturer’s responsibility. The outcome is an implemented working method, structured material from the pilot, and a practical plan for applying the process to future projects.

Implementation built around a real project and measurable deliverables

What your business gains from the implementation

Process and responsibility map
Agreed risk assessment stages, participant roles, review points, and a clear route for approving decisions.
Pilot on a selected machine
A facilitated assessment covering machine limits, hazard scenarios, risk reduction, and unresolved questions.
An agreed way of working in the system
A working configuration, data structure, and rules for recording rationale, tailored to your team and project.
A clear list of gaps and open decisions
A structured record of missing information, action owners, and work that must be completed after the workshops.
Checklist for future projects
A practical checklist of inputs, reviews, and deliverables, so the next assessment does not start from scratch.
Process handover to your team
A closing session covering responsibilities and a plan for applying the process to the next machines.

How we implement the machinery risk assessment process

1

Diagnosis and pilot selection

We review your current working methods, participants, available documentation, and the machine selected for the pilot.

2

Process and role design

We agree the stages, responsibilities, review criteria, and how information will be recorded in Safety Software.

3

Pilot and outcome review

Your team works through the selected machine while we facilitate the analysis, structure the findings, and expose the gaps.

Handover and rollout plan

We hand over the agreed process, working materials, open questions, and a plan for applying it to future projects.

What the implementation covers—and what remains outside the service

Before work begins, we confirm the pilot scope, input data, and the people authorised to make decisions.

What the service covers
What the service does not cover
Process diagnosis
Interviews, a map of the current working method, roles, information flow, and agreed review points.
A formal management system audit, legal opinion, or organisational conformity assessment.
Pilot machine
A facilitated run-through of the process on one agreed machine, with the workshop output structured and documented.
Automatic confirmation that the design is complete, CE marking, or a machinery conformity certificate.
Technical decisions
Questions, options, documented assumptions, and identification of issues that need a named owner.
Designing safeguards or approving engineering solutions on the manufacturer’s behalf.
Tests and calculations
Identification of the evidence, tests, or calculations needed to close the issues raised.
On-site measurements, validation of safety functions, PL calculations, or laboratory testing unless separately scoped.
Service deliverables
The process, defined roles, structured pilot material, a gap list, checklist, and rollout plan.
A guarantee of conformity, certification, an EU declaration of conformity, or transfer of the manufacturer’s responsibility.

Frequently asked questions about machinery risk assessment implementation

Which businesses is this implementation designed for?
It is designed for machinery manufacturers, integrators, and engineering teams that want to standardise machinery risk assessment, assign clear responsibilities, and move from isolated documents to a repeatable process.
Which machine should we choose for the pilot?
Choose a project that reflects your team’s typical work, has suitable documentation available, and involves people who can answer engineering questions. We confirm the final choice during the scoping call.
Will you complete the entire risk assessment for us?
During the pilot, we facilitate the process and help structure the outcome, but active input from people who understand the machine is essential. Technical decisions and their approval remain the manufacturer’s responsibility.
Can the implementation be delivered remotely?
We can deliver the diagnosis, process design, most workshops, and system work remotely. If a physical machine inspection is required, we agree a separate scope for the on-site work.
How long does the implementation take?
The schedule depends on the machine’s complexity, the quality of the input data, and team availability. After the scoping call, we propose the stages, meeting dates, and acceptance criteria.
Does the service end with a conformity certificate?
No. The deliverables are an agreed process, structured pilot material, and a plan for further action. The service is not certification, a notified body assessment, or a guarantee of machinery conformity.
Is a Safety Software licence included in the service?
The quotation confirms the scope of system access and any ongoing subscription. Process implementation and software usage terms are set out separately, keeping costs and responsibilities clear.

Start with one machine. Build a process the whole team can use.

During the first call, we will define the pilot project, participants, available data, and the deliverables you expect from the implementation.
