MACHINE Safe and the AS 4024 committee are holding an Australian Standard AS 4024.1-2006 Safety of Machinery Workshop in Western Sydney on 25 February 2010.
Registration is now open for the event, which will be hosted by safety experts Frank Schrever, head of Pilz Safe Automation in Melbourne, and Ern Millard, chair of the Standards Australia Committee SF 41 for over 20 years.
