Safety Requirement Specification (SRS)
Getting the specification right
Preparing to remediate
When a risk assessment identifies a machine that is in need of some new or updated safety functionality, you may wish to remediate it yourself. If so, we can provide you with a formal written Safety Requirement Specification.
The written specification is based on the operational designs and production requirements of the machine. It also takes into consideration the findings in our risk assessment, all relevant EU directives and EN ISO standards – and with due consideration of the Use of Work Equipment Directive.
Where necessary, we refer to appropriate guidance such as codes of practice and local regulations, or your own company standards.
