Designed for engineers, integrators, safety professionals, and technicians, this class covers the two focused modules, below, and concludes with a live Q&A and discussion, allowing participants to apply their learning to real-world challenges and system designs.
- Module on Collaborative Robot Safety: Dive deep into the technical safety requirements unique to collaborative robot systems. Gain expert insight into compliance with ISO/TS 15066 and ANSI/A3 R15.06-2025, including power and force limiting, speed and separation monitoring, and the validation of human-robot interaction. This module equips you to design and deploy safe, productive cobot applications.
- Module on Industrial Robot Safety: Explore the critical safety principles and new requirements introduced in ANSI/A3 R15.06-2025 and ISO 10218-1:2025 for traditional industrial robots. Learn how to implement and validate effective safeguarding methods, risk assessments, and safety-rated controls in high-throughput environments.

Professional Development Credit: CEUs and PDHs
With our machine safety training programs, you have an opportunity to boost your expertise and the potential to earn professional development credits. Many organizations and states recognize seminar hours for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and Professional Development Hours (PDHs). A CEU is typically equivalent to 10 hours of participation in a recognized continuing education program, and a PDH is usually equivalent to one hour of learning in a professional development activity. Check with your state or organization to confirm eligibility.
Training Notes
