Safety is a company value

Plant walk-through with SICK safety experts

Plant walk-through on the way to a new safety culture

Safety has a high value. Because it serves to protect people.

Safety is an important part of the corporate culture. Optimally protected workstations and machines show that you value your staff. The feeling of being in safe hands improves the working atmosphere and your staffs ability to identify with the company. However, technology is advancing and safety strategies are becoming increasingly efficient. Reason enough to examine your production plants safety concept from the ground up. How? Its simple: With a plant walk-through accompanied by the market leader in the field of industrial safety: SICK.

Production plants are becoming increasingly complex, productivity are rising and operation is becoming more sophisticated. The more efciently and reliably the machines and equipment function, the greater the emphasis on the human safety problem. 80 % of all safety incidents during operation concern people; only 20 % are on account of the technology.

So it is worth investing in improving industrial safety. The ideal start: a plant walk-through with SICK experts.

Achieve optimal safety quickly and economically Based on the results of the plant walk-through, you are able to act purposefully. For this, SICK offers a full range of services: from risk assessment and safety inspections through to complete safety-related plant modernisation.

BASIS FOR THE DECISION

R E S U LT : TA N G I B L E M E A S U R E S

A plant walk-through with our safety specialists helps you, the decision maker, realistically assess the safetyrelated status quo of your machines and equipment. Critical zones are determined, recorded, prioritised according to potential risk and documented.

For the concluding assessment, we consider: the integrity of the protection systems the priority of the machines organisational measures

The advantage of this simple approach: For a reasonable cost, you obtain a planning instrument as the basis for internal organisation and for collaboration with supervisory bodies. Tangible measures for the future safety strategy can be derived from this.
