Certified Functional Safety Experts

During our last TUV-certified CFSE training course Andy Ward and Chris Haynes from our team joined. The five-day course covers fluid power machinery safety and elements of electrical safety compliance in conjunction with Wieland Electric. The course is led by industry experts who form part of many technical committees ensuring the relevance of the course content is valid and up to date. The course is followed by an examination, all participants were successful in passing this and obtaining a CFSE certification to take back to their workplaces. John Stoddart CFSE from Tenneco - "I attended the 5-day CFSE training run by ROSS in conjunction with Wieland and certified by TUV. The course was fast-paced but very informative. The content of the course was expertly delivered by Dietrich Warmbier (ROSS) and Kevan Cowley (Wieland) both very knowledgeable of the subject. It was also great to have other industry experts from ROSS sit in on the course with us (Chris Brogli, Andy Ward and Chris Haynes) whose knowledge was a valuable addition to the training. The legal aspect of the course from understanding the standards and requirements will assist me in my role as machine safety coordinator. Overall an excellent course and a must for anyone in a machine safety role". Lee Alford CFSE from Tata Steel - "I found the course content well-structured and presented in an easy-to-understand way by the very knowledgeable presenters who had time to explain in more detail when asked, with good notes to take away for further study & reference in future. As a machinery safety compliance engineer, I will be using this training to improve my workplace and better understand how to make our equipment safer for our workers". Our next course is as follows: 30th September - 4th October 2024 to be held at the National Fluid Power Centre (UK) - Worksop S81 7AE For more information contact us at training@rosspneumatrol.com
