Risk & PL Assessment

What is Risk & PL Assessment?

Risk & PL Assessment helps organisations identify hazards associated with industrial machinery and determine the level of safety required to reduce those risks. It is an important step in machine safety that evaluates how equipment is used, identifies possible hazards, and recommends practical measures to improve operator safety and regulatory compliance.

A detailed assessment not only highlights potential safety concerns but also helps businesses understand whether their existing safety measures are adequate. Using recognised standards such as ISO 12100 and EN ISO 13849-1, engineers evaluate machine risks and confirm the required Performance Level (PL) for safety-related control systems.

At TDV Engineering Solutions, we provide Risk Assessment Services and Performance Level Assessment Services in India to support safer machine operation and compliance with recognised safety standards. Our engineers conduct systematic assessments that help organisations strengthen machine safety while supporting efficient and reliable production.

Our Risk & PL Assessment Services

Every machine presents different operational risks depending on its design, application, and working environment. Our Risk & PL Assessment Services are carried out using a structured approach to identify hazards, evaluate existing safety measures, and recommend suitable improvements.

Our services include::

Our objective is to help organisations understand machine-related risks and implement practical safety measures that improve both compliance and operational reliability.

Risk Assessment

All machines can have potential hazards that can cause unsafe situations if not identified before. Our Risk Assessment Service analyzes machine operation, equipment layout, operator interaction, maintenance activities and other aspects, to find potential risks throughout the machine life.

The assessment can help businesses identify any areas where improvements might be necessary and enable them to put safety measures in place before they result in injuries, production downtime or compliance problems. Every assessment is done based on the application and operating conditions of the machine.

Performance Level Assessment

Performance Level Assessment determines whether the safety-related parts of a control system provide the level of protection required for a particular machine or process. Using recognised standards such as EN ISO 13849-1, our engineers evaluate safety functions and verify that the selected control system is suitable for the identified level of risk.

Our Performance Level Assessment Service helps organisations confirm that safety systems have been designed to meet operational requirements while supporting reliable machine performance and long-term compliance.
