Overview

 

Have you ever wondered why people choose to defeat a risk reduction measure that is meant to keep them from being exposed to a risk? Join us for a 30-minute webinar where we will discuss the motivation to defeat.

 

ISO 14119 has contained some information on this topic since the 2013 edition, and recent updates to ISO 13849-1:2023 added requirements on minimizing the motivation to defeat safety functions.

 

We will discuss the process of identifying the root cause of the motivation to defeat risk reduction measures and some of the methods that can be taken to reduce it.
