This webinar recording provides a practical walkthrough of how to perform a complete risk assessment, with a focus on calculating the Performance Level of Safety-Related Parts of Control Systems (SRP/CS). It presents a structured and repeatable approach aligned with ISO 13849, covering the process from hazard identification through to final validation.
The recording explains the step-by-step calculation of the performance level for SRP/CS, outlines best practice methods for assessing hazard severity, and shows how to establish a consistent risk evaluation across machines and teams. It also highlights common pitfalls in the risk assessment process and demonstrates how to avoid them, supported by real-world examples to facilitate practical application.
