Website access to wider range of HSE documents

Numerous news items and articles published in the Pilz Safety Update email newsletter and on the Pilzsupport website have referred to documents from the HSE (Health and Safety Executive).Numerous news items and articles published in the Pilz Safety Update email newsletter and on the Pilzsupport website have referred to documents from the HSE (Health and Safety Executive), many of which are available free-of-charge as PDF files. For some time these have been accessible via a page on the Pilz website, but now the list of HSE publications has been considerably expanded to make it easier for those responsible for machinery safety and the management of health and safety in the workplace to find the guidance and other literature they need as quickly as possible. A total of 41 HSE publications are currently listed, which is almost three times as many as the original listing.
They cover a wide range of topics, from machinery safety, noise, vibration and personal protective equipment (PPE) to health and safety regulations, directors' and managers' responsibilities, slips/trips/falls, first aid and training.
This invaluable section of the Pilz website will be continually updated as more HSE publications become available.
Pilz believes this is probably the most user-friendly resource currently available for gaining fast access to free HSE publications relevant to machinery safety and the management of health and safety in the workplace.
In addition to the HSE publications, other downloads available from the Pilz website include the popular Pilz Guide to Machinery Safety, the Pilz Guide to Programmable Safety Systems, the Pilz Safety Product Selector (previously known as the Pilz Interactive Guide), videos and demonstration software for the PNOZmulti modular safety controller, plus data sheets, operating manuals and application manuals for Pilz machinery safety products and systems.
