Procter Machinery Guarding is giving away a free Risk Assessment Calculator based on the requirements of BS EN 1050, the standard for machinery risk assessments.

This will be sent by email upon request and can be used on PCs running Microsoft Excel.

Designed to be easy to use, the Risk Assessment Calculator incorporates checklists and look-up tables to enable risk assessments to be carried out on almost any static machinery.

A Hazard Rating Number (HRN) and Risk Level are calculated automatically for each identified hazard, thereby indicating at-a-glance where users should consider taking action.

The Risk Assessment Calculator is based on a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, though very little knowledge of this software package is required in order to use the tool.

All of the calculations are handled automatically, leaving the user to enter the data and decide on the values to use for 'likelihood of occurrence', 'frequency of exposure', 'degree of possible harm' and the 'number of persons at risk' using the guides provided.

If users find that they require further assistance with performing risk assessments or in taking remedial action, Procter Machinery Guarding can either help directly or put them in touch with appropriate experts.

To request a copy of the Risk Assessment Calculator, simply send your email address to RA@procterbedwas.co.uk.
