J. G. Munro & Associates have been consulting engineers to industry and local authorities for over twelve years, specialising in machinery/work equipment EU law.

Since the mid nineties there has been a profusion of work equipment related Directives, implemented in National laws, all of which are aimed at safety and health, not just in the workforce but also in relation to members of the public, structures, animals and the environment.

Most manufacturing or service companies have taken some or a large proportion of these Directives on board in an effective and professional manner.

Due to the number of Directives in place, JGMA provide a simple yet effective service by paving a clear path to full implementation, thereby reducing the learning curve and implementation time.

Some companies utilise some of their own staff to implement such requirements that could take anything from 6 months to 9 months without any guarantee of full implementation.This approach is not only false economy but also distracts the individual from the tasks they were employed for, i.e. manufacturing/process orientated and therefore profit making.

JGMA take a proactive course of action by liasing with a nominated company person, applying the necessary controls and administration processes thus freeing the individual from the time they can use productively within the main process sector.

This approach is cost effective and provides the employer with a third party overview with witnessed submissions to certification authorities

John G. Munro BE. BSC. C. Eng. is the principal of the practice and heads up all of the areas covered including lectures on EU machinery law in the University College Dublin (UCD).

John G. Munro is also the author of EU Work Equipment Legislation and Accident Prevention Investigation & Reporting.
