UCPD European machiney Safety Requirements

The Laidler University Certificate in Professional Development (UCPD) is the first course of its kind, offering an academic qualification for the field of machinery safety. It has been developed by Laidler Associates and accredited by Teesside University giving an academic route for the professional development of safety engineers and practitioners. Alongside the qualification, successful students will also receive 30 credits which can be used towards other University courses.

Background

The UCPD was developed due to market demand for a recognised qualification in Machinery Safety. Over a number of years, Laidler clients asked whether they could receive accredited training that could be used towards their Professional Development. The demand was such that Laidler took the bold step towards producing this uniqe qualification.

Benefits

The course will be run at venues across the country. Spaces will be limited to enable delegates to gain the most benefit possible from their study time with the Laidler trainer. If demand from a company is sufficient, the course can also be run inhouse if required.

Individual delegates benefit from attending the course because they are taught and assessed by one of the leading machinery safety consultants in the UK and will gain a qualifiication which will enhance their career both through their own Professional Development but also by being qualified in an area that previously had no recognised qualification.

Companies benefit as they will be able to have their own in-house team of machinery safety assessors, negating the need to use external consultants and hence saving finances in the long term. They will also benefit by knowing what qualification they need to look for when employing new members of staff.
