Cutting chain is a job that many tools, technicians and even businesses struggle to do quickly and safely. A new and improved way of cutting chain is now available that comes with many benefits, including improved safety and productivity.

There’s a reason why chain is used almost everywhere. Chain’s durability, high breaking force, and capacity to carry a working load makes it the preferred option in a wide variety of applications. Where chain really shines is within the crane and hoist market—you’ll see it used in material handling, chain blocks, and chain hoists.

Make no mistake, edge working is something that should be avoided if at all possible. In any work at height application, the priority should be focused on mitigating the risk of operatives reaching and/or falling from the edge of a building or structure. But if it is absolutely necessary and unavoidable, then it’s vital to be well-prepared and have the highest levels of protection in place. That’s why MSA Safety, global manufacturer and distributor of industry-leading safety products, has created its V-EDGE™ range - a comprehensive portfolio of products designed to keep those who have to work on the edge, safe.

The contracts, which cover a range of Hart Doors’ commercial doors, are welcomed by the company’s managing director as “very welcome and a boost for the hard-working team”.

Every day industrial workers transfer potentially hazardous chemicals, such as solvents, acetones, lubricants, cleansers, and acids, from large drums into smaller containers, or into machinery. Traditionally, such potentially flammable or combustible liquids have been tipped and poured. Today such spill-prone, VOC emitting methods are no longer considered acceptable, safe, or compliant – not when a fire or explosion can result.

The removal of operator risk is one obvious benefit, but this technology can also protect both the environment and the bottom line, says Frederic Thomas, Managing Director of AVT Reliability®.

The arrival in the marketplace of web hosted condition monitoring (CM) systems signalled a step change in industrial IoT, creating a culture of truly proactive asset maintenance for those companies which have embraced it.

“We are ready to ensure organisations are doing all they can to keep people safe as they return to work”: Mike Robinson, British Safety Council chief executive

The British Safety Council has today launched a new COVID-10 Assurance Assessment Service to support organisations returning to work. A detailed return to work guide can be used across all sectors and will enable organisations around the world to develop robust new processes and protocols to keep employers and their customers safe. The service is designed to ensure that employers manage the risk of transmission of COVID-19 as far as is possible within their workplace.

In recent years, the ‘REMBE Safety Days’ series of events has repeatedly made Brilon a meeting place for global explosion safety and process safety.  The content of the events was to present and discuss current topics in these areas as well as to create a platform for networking. In November 2019, 150 participants from five continents were welcomed to the Sauerland region. Unfortunately, no live events can take place due to the current situation. In order to nevertheless enable such an important exchange of knowledge, REMBE is offering a digital version of the REMBE Safety Days.
