Montréal, February 14, 2007 - The Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé et en sécurité du travail (IRSST) has just made available the English version of its directory on industrial machine safety devices. This databank, which is frequently used by companies and professionals, has also been updated to take into account the arrival on the market of new products and several manufacturers.
Everything on one site
This directory contains, on the same Web site, useful information on the manufacturers of the safety devices most frequently used in Québec. Besides identifying the most popular products, the site classifies the devices by function and gives a short description of each. Without being exhaustive, the classification also includes electrical, programmable electronic, mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic safety devices. The directory allows professionals to rapidly find information such as the names and addresses of manufacturers that offer the type of device sought.
Useful and user-friendly
Scattered and often difficult to find, all of the information available on industrial machine safety devices is now easier to consult by designers or occupational health and safety practitioners. Accessible and user-friendly, this databank will facilitate the process for those who want to promote the prevention of industrial accidents by making industrial machines or processes safer. Besides helping professionals find potential solutions to machine safety problems, this tool informs them about new technologies in this field.
