Abstract

In Quebec, the market for protective devices used to improve the safety of hazardous machines and processes is undergoing rapid growth. At the same time, potential buyers have a choice of an increasing number of products, including some previously available only in Europe. However, it is difficult for these buyers to make informed choices, as little product information is available. This project will create a database of the availability of protective devices in Quebec. Published on the IRSST's Internet site, it will provide health and safety specialists and designers of machines and processes with data on suppliers, authorized dealers and manufacturers of the products.
