Shelfbot has completed an independent safety risk assessment by RiskPlant, demonstrating compliance with AS 4024.1-2019 Safety of Machinery and related ISO/IEC/EN standards.

What Was Assessed

The risk assessment process involved a comprehensive plant safety evaluation in accordance with Occupational Health and Safety (Plant) Regulations. RiskPlant conducted a full review of:

• Mechanical hazards and guarding systems
• Emergency stop functionality and safeguarded stop behaviour
• Access controls and interlocking mechanisms
• Operator interface safety and procedural controls
• Risk reduction measures across normal operation, maintenance, and fault conditions

Why This Matters

An independent safety risk assessment isn’t a checkbox—it’s confirmation that Shelfbot has been independently evaluated against the standards that matter for workplace safety. For businesses evaluating automation, this assessment provides evidence that the system has been thoroughly reviewed and meets Australian safety requirements.

Shelfbot operates in live warehouses with people working nearby. The risk assessment validates that the design, guarding, and operational procedures meet the standards expected for machinery of this type.

RiskPlant Assessment

RiskPlant is a specialist consultancy focused on plant and machinery safety compliance. Their risk assessment covered hazard identification, risk evaluation, and verification that control measures meet the requirements of AS 4024.1-2019 and related machinery safety standards.

The assessment confirms that Shelfbot’s design and implementation align with the risk reduction hierarchy and safety principles required under Australian regulations.
