Tuoteturvallisuus on osa koneen, laitteen tai järjestelmän toimintaan koko sen elinkaaren ajan. Comatecin asiantuntijat auttavat tuoteturvallisuuden kehittämisessä ja riskien minimoimisessa suunnittelun tai olemassa olevan koneen tai laitteen eri vaiheissa. Turvallisuuden alueella tarjoamme tuoteturvallisuuden kokonaisratkaisuja tai osan niistä. Palvelumme avulla tuotteen saattaminen ajantasaisten tuoteturvallisuusvaatimusten mukaiseksi on mahdollisimman vaivatonta. Vaatimusten lisäksi kehitämme tarvittaessa tarpeita vastaavia, ajantasaisten tuoteturvallisuusvaatimusten mukaisia tuoteturvallisuuden hallinnan työkaluja. Tuoteturvallisuuden lisäksi turvallinen työpaikka on etu niin yritykselle kuin työntekijälle. Työturvallisuusriskien pienentäminen vähentää sairauspoissaoloja ja parantaa työtehoa sekä työssä viihtyvyyttä. Avainasemassa on riskien tunnistaminen ajoissa ja niistä tiedottaminen.
Omat haasteensa tuotetuvallisuuteen tuovat myös ympäristön huomioiminen, palo- ja kemikaaliturvallisuus ja näitä säätelevä lainsäädäntö sekä Euroopan talousaluetta koskeva tuotteiden pakollinen CE-merkintä sen kuuluessa CE-merkintää edellyttävän diretktiivin soveltamisalaan. Tunnemme ympäristösuojelulain 527/2014 ja CE-merkintöjen velvoitteet ja ohjeet.
Tarjoamamme asiantuntijaosaamisen lisäksi turvallisuuden A ja O on osaava henkilökunta. Riskienhallinnassa haastavinta on usein henkilöstön riittävä tietoisuus turvallisuusvaatimuksista, menetelmistä ja niiden soveltamisesta käytännössä. Asiantuntijaselvityksiämme täydentää Comatecin turvallisuuskoulutukset, joka voidaan räätälöidä asiakkaan tarpeen mukaan. Tuoteturvallisuuskoulutuksissemme saat tietoa ajantasaisista tuoteturvallisuusvaatimuksista ja niiden soveltamisesta käytännössä.

Safety requirements for vehicles
When bringing any motor vehicle or its trailer to the market, a type approval helps the entry to the market and the free movement of the vehicle within the EU. In order for the vehicle to be approved for traffic use, it must meet the requirements of the legislation in each area (e.g., breaks, lights, etc.) Requirements for motor vehicles are given in both national and EU legislation and the UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) regulations. Comatec’s experts help you find out the requirements concerning your vehicle. We are particularly familiar with:
- Buses
- Tractors and farming and forestry trailers
