Safety as a Value

 

Premier Tech Industrial Equipment Group (PT IEG) believes that team members are the most valuable resource that companies can draw on. Accordingly, PT IEG has taken a series of measures that support daily work towards eliminating the risk of accidents on its production sites. These measures include lockout procedures, workplace inspections, first aid training, mandatory protective equipment, restricted plant access, and emergency plans. Each plant can also count on both a joint committee and a specific team dedicated to occupational health and safety.

 

A Constant Concern

 

The equipment manufactured by PT IEG is extremely safe. At all stages of product development, the safety of team members, customers, and all people who have access to the equipment remains PT IEG’s primary concern: at the design stage (reducing the risk of hazards), during equipment commissioning, and throughout the entire service life of the equipment (rigorous maintenance and service). PT IEG’s compliance with the strictest international regulations and desire to eliminate industrial accidents have earned the trust of both customers and their communities.

 

Stricter International Regulations

 

The movement towards stricter occupational health and safety regulations originated in Europe, spread to Canada, and recently reached the United States.

 

  

Therefore, new American regulations require that businesses and equipment manufacturers meet new criteria. At present, safety devices on equipment sold in the United States have to meet the same criteria that apply in Canada and in Europe (EN and ISO). In this regard, PT IEG takes advantage of its worldwide presence: PT IEG’s expertise in other markets makes it easier to observe the new American regulations.

 

One Step Ahead

 

With regards to safety, PT IEG consolidates its position as a leader in the field of industrial flexible packaging. In addition to offering its customers the possibility to consult with occupational health and safety specialists, PT IEG carries out a series of measures that exceed the established standards:

  • Performing risk analyses right from the design stage
  • Providing more reliable guards, electrical circuits, and safety control devices
  • Using safety pictograms on the equipment
  • Providing state-of-the-art safety components (programmable safety relays, system for position and speed check of robots, etc.)
  • Offering the possibility to bleed and lock out all power sources in order to allow safe access to the machines
  • Integrating occupational health and safety measures into the equipment literature
