Injury prevention is key to remaining competitive.
Hazard prevention is a critical dimension of operations that involve cutting and
slicing. The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that for every dollar spent on injury prevention, an employer can expect up to six times a return on its investment.
Safety Engineers and Plant Managers understand the importance of having the right tools at hand to minimizing the risk of injury on the job. Gem Runner™ provides safe and easy access to single edge blades at workstations where speed and efficiency are paramount.
Injury prevention is a commitment to employees and customers.
By going beyond safety compliance to making safety a core value, organizations are sending important messages to employees and communicating core values to customers. By providing the safest, most efficient cutting mechanisms and the highest quality blade edges, management is saying, “We care about worker safety. We care that customers know we care.” The bonus is that a company’s safety record is directly related to both productivity and financial prospects.
