Study Notes

B11 LMSS Overview

B11 LMSS™ includes five modules and an examination, covering standards and regulations, risk assessment, and safety measures.
Module 1 focuses on the introduction to standards and regulations, including machinery safety.
Subsequent modules dive into risk reduction measures, functional safety, integrating machines and robotics, and electrical safety standards.

Key Personnel

Matt Chandy leads Safety Services UK and EU, experienced in supporting Safety Interlocks and holds B11 LMSS™ Certification #AA311265150.
Jenny Tuertscher, VP of Technical Safety, is an expert involved in multiple ISO technical committees and also holds B11 LMSS™ Certification #AA311265118.

Course Structure

Each session includes a mixture of introduction, standards overview, risk assessment processes, and training examples.
Regular breaks are incorporated to enhance engagement and participation.

B11 Standards Context

B11 Standards, Inc. is ANSI-accredited and develops the ANSI B11 series focusing on safety for machinery and related equipment.
The standards aim to standardize concepts, principles, and requirements for machinery safety without portable hand-driven tools.

Risk Assessment Process

Risk assessments are essential following new machinery installation or significant alterations, aiming to ensure safety through systematic evaluation.
Responsibilities for risk assessment are distributed among suppliers, users, and personnel.

Risk Assessment Goals

The ultimate aim of risk assessment is to minimize risks to an acceptable level, emphasizing the importance of technically skilled personnel for effective execution.
Integration of risk reduction in the design stage helps identify risks early and avoid expensive rework.

Risk Assessment Steps

The risk assessment process involves preparation, hazard identification, initial risk assessment, and risk reduction, following the B11.0 guidelines.
Risk scoring examples utilize a matrix factoring severity of harm and probability of occurrence to categorize risk levels.

Risk Calculation Matrix

The risk scoring matrix categorizes risk levels from ‘Very Likely’ to ‘Remote’, with outcomes ranging from High to Negligible for severity of harm.
Tools like ISO 13849-1 can aid in determining necessary reliability for safety functions, though it is not a risk assessment method.

Fortress Introduction

Fortress designs and manufactures tailored safety equipment to safeguard individuals in hazardous work environments.
Emphasizes global support, quick and effective solutions, and innovation to meet individual safety requirements.
