Adaptation of machinery to minimum requirements

Are you planning to modernize your machine park or do you need to adapt older machines to current OHS regulations? At Engineering Shield, we combine engineering experience with machine safety and deliver an end-to-end process: from audits and risk assessment, through the implementation of safeguards and technical modifications, to documentation and staff training.

We ensure that your machines will meet the minimum requirements – which reduces the risk of accidents and downtime and enables legal operation.

Why is it worth working with us?

Minimum requirements are not “paperwork” — they are real safeguards and procedures that must work on the shop floor. We do this in a practical way: we identify gaps, propose protective measures appropriate to the risk, implement modifications, and close the matter with documentation so that you are prepared for operation and any potential inspection.

We guarantee:

  • Safety and confidence of regulatory compliance
  • Time and cost savings (fewer revisions, less downtime)
  • Flexible approach to the investment (phased implementation / scope aligned with the budget)
  • Consistent quality and long-term partnership

Scope of Competencies

Machine safety audit

Review of the actual state, identification of non-conformities and priorities – you quickly know what is critical and what can be phased.

Risk assessment (ISO 12100) and action plan

We assess the risk and translate it into concrete terms: protective measures, required safety functions, a list of modifications.

Safety and modification design

Selection and design of guards, interlocks, light curtains, E-STOP, interlocks, signaling, and safety logic – in accordance with the operator’s actual work.

Implementation and commissioning on site

We carry out modifications and tests so that production can return to operation as quickly as possible and the safeguards work in practice.

Documentation and personnel training

We are closing the matter formally: a complete set of documents + training for Maintenance and operators.

Retrofit and machinery fleet compliance adaptation program

Adaptation of a single machine or a program for multiple machines / the entire line – in a phased model, with budget and priority control.

Workflow

How do we work?

01

Inventory and audit

We collect data, inspection on the shop floor, list of deficiencies + priorities (quick wins / critical risks).

02

Risk assessment and safeguarding concept

Risks → protective measures → scope of modification + stage plan (if needed).

03

Design and implementation of modifications

Implementation of changes (mechanical/electrical/control), functional tests, verification of the operation of safeguards.

04

Acceptance, documentation, training

Implementation protocol, complete set of documents, briefing for Maintenance/Repair Department (UR)/operators, and formal close-out.

Documentation

What will you receive at the end?

We provide a complete set of documents and files that legally protect you and facilitate maintenance operations.

Do you have machines to adapt?

Send a list of machines or schedule an on-site audit. We will preliminarily define the priorities, scope, and delivery model (single machine – fixed price / machine fleet – phasing and T&M).
