Machinery and equipment safety
NR12 compliance
We assess risks and implement engineering solutions to make machines and production lines safer, documented and compatible with operations.

Signs that a machine should be assessed
- Moving parts, crushing zones or unprotected access
- Inadequate or insufficient emergency controls
- Modified machinery with outdated documentation
- Missing risk assessment and procedures
- Equipment that must be cleared for audit or operation

Questions
NR12 frequently asked questions
Must every old machine be replaced?
Not necessarily. Many machines can be modernized through retrofit and safety measures defined after a technical assessment.
Does compliance include physical guards?
The scope may include design, fabrication and installation of guarding as well as electrical and automation integration.
Must production be stopped?
Interventions are planned with operations to define safe windows and reduce production impact.
Can one generic analysis cover all machines?
No. The assessment should consider each machine’s characteristics, use, process, access and specific risks.
