EandM is an authorized SICK distributor serving manufacturers, system integrators, and industrial facilities across the West Coast — California, Oregon, and Washington. A member of our sales team just earned their CFSAT certification, backed by SICK and SGS-TÜV Saar. Here's what that means for you.
THE CREDENTIAL: What is CFSAT (Certified Functional Safety Application Technician)?
Tested Credential
Issued jointly by SICK and SGS-TÜV Saar — not a marketing badge, a tested credential
Structured Program
A structured program covering industrial machine safety standards and functional safety best-practices.
Qualified Safety Expert
SICK Distributors nationwide have a CFSAT on staff – you can guarantee a SICK distributor has a qualified safety expert.
Real Safety Challenges
Qualifies holders to work through real machine safety challenges alongside customers
WHO EARNED IT
Your point of contactJean Lim
Sales Team • CFSAT Certified • Your contact for machine safety product conversations
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: What they're qualified to help with
Hazard Identification
Identify hazards and recognize safety-related impairments for machine operators.
Safety Standards
Use machine safety standards to help define safety requirements on machines and production lines.
Protective Device Selection
Advise on protective device selection and correct device usage.
Retrofitting & Maintenance
Propose actions to maintain ongoing machine safety or to retrofit safety on currently-installed systems.
BEING UPFRONT: What falls outside CFSAT scope
CFSAT does not cover:
- ✗ Quantitative risk assessments and risk reduction analyses
- ✗ Perform safety calculations, define validation plans, and provide machine documentation according to ISO/IEC standards
- ✗ Full safety engineering work — that's CFSAE territory
If your project needs that level of support, we'll tell you — and help point you in the right direction.
EandM is the only SICK Elite Gold distributor on the West Coast — the highest recognition SICK awards to a distributor.
