On-site Demonstrations and Toolbox Talks

Awareness demonstrations and toolbox talks play a vital role in strengthening understanding of human form recognition and its impact on site safety. By combining real-world scenarios with practical guidance, these sessions help teams recognise how technology detects human presence, movement, and risk in dynamic environments. They also reinforce safe behaviours, highlight potential blind spots, and build confidence in using Safety Shield systems effectively.

NOCN Assured Human Form Recognition (HFR) Plant Proximity Safety

The course aims to provide learners with an understanding of Human Form Recognition systems and how they support safer interaction between people and plant on site. Human Form Recognition (HFR) systems are used to support People-Plant Interface safety by detecting human presence within defined zones around plant and providing real-time alerts to operators and people on the ground.

This course will benefit to both newly qualified and experienced workers in industrial worksites using heavy machinery.

The outline, structure and content of this course is assured by NOCN Group. SSafety Shield is an approved centre to deliver this programme and to train centres (please see expert level)

Human Form Recognition (HFR) Technician Programme Assured by City & Guilds

This 4-day highly interactive programme, offering a mix of classroom and on-machine training, provides technicians with all the knowledge and skills required to install, repair, maintain, calibrate and complete pre delivery inspections using the Safety Shield G4 system.

By the end of the programme, technicians will be able to:

• Identity the key components needed to install the Safety Shield G4 system

• Complete a full Safety Sheild G4 installation, supported by colleagues and the trainer

• Describe the process of registering the installed components with NEXUS

• Complete an unaided, assessed full installation (machine, camera placement and wiring runs)

• Complete a selection of repairs and maintenance

• Calibrate the machine

Day One

• Introduction to Safety Shield

• A first look at the system (whats in the box)

• Deep dive into the system and what it can do? (unlocking the potential)

• Powers and wiring looms

• Supported first install of the HFR system

Day Two

• Supported HFR installation continues and completed on machine

• Introduction to Digital Team and NEXUS; completing the install registration process

Day Three

• Begin unaided installation and recording of learning outcomes have been reached on physical installs

• Complete the repair and maintenance activities to show full understanding of the system

Day Four

• Complete final install unaided and have machine, camera placements and wiring runs assessed by trainer

• Complete the calibration process

• Written assessments

Technicians will need to attend all 4-days of the programme and pass a number of practical assessments and complete a written test. If a technician fails any element, they will not be able to install, maintain, repair or calibrate the system unaided.

Once qualified, all new technicians will be audited as they complete their installs, with feedback and further checks and tests.

Each training day is approx. 0800-1600, with morning and afternoon breaks and a break for lunch. The pre-requisites for the workshop are as follows:

• Good working knowledge of plant and machinery

• Good understanding of the English language, as are all training materials, such as workbooks, handouts and examination documentation are written in English

• Good working knowledge of A/C, D/C electrical components on plant and machinery

• Be proficient in using multiple hand tools to conduct works, including panel removal and fixing components to the machinery

• Be in good physical health, as installations require learners to be able to climb and bend to access all areas of the machinery during servicing and maintaining

The programme can be delivered at Safety Shield Global’s Head Office in Winsford, or it can be delivered on a site of your choice; we can provide details of the options available and site pre-requisites. We will also provide you with a list of what the technician needs to bring to the programme, such as laptop, tools/equipment, etc.
