The StandRite-Pro is designed to control postural sway in standing. Other solutions have only addressed "symptoms" of pain and fatigue. The StandRite-Pro brings a sensible and effective solution to the "causes". This solution addresses every aspect of standing while providing unimpeded ingress and egress when needed.

For operations that produce toxic dusts like manganese, hex chrome, nickel and zinc oxide, it is a priority to keep the workplace safe and compliant with OSHA regulations. But traditional remote-mounted HEPA filters require expensive, cumbersome ducting configurations and additional supports that take up valuable space. Camfil APC dust collectors are available with Integrated Safety Monitoring Filters (iSMFs) to isolate toxic particulates ensuring that no measurable weight of emissions is being discharged.

A lightweight, easy-to-assemble system that allows for maximum motion dynamics in material handling applications has been developed by igus. The guidelite vertical system ensures that vertically moving energy chains in highly dynamic applications are safely held in place while moving at high speeds.

Protecting workers from harmful noise on the job is an important component to worker safety programs. Honeywell has released a new earplug dispenser for commercial-industrial use that makes it easier than ever for companies to achieve better hearing protection for their employees.

CleanSpace Technology says it is expanding into the North, Central and South American markets with its award-winning line of respiratory products, which are available worldwide in more than 20 countries.

Mencom announces new low-profile enclosures for Panel Interface Connectors (PIC). The PIC, also known as programming ports or programming interfaces, provides the ability to communicate with a device inside a cabinet without opening the cabinet door. This helps prevent potential safety hazards (such as arc flash) associated with opening an electrical panel.

Suhner Industrial Products announces its new Power Air Respiratory System e3000, specially designed for operator protection during high-grit grinding and polishing operations. The system, in combination with the e3000 lightweight helmet from Suhner, offer respiratory protection from the effects of smoke, dust and vapor, as well as operator comfort.

Drills, mills, lathes, grinders, saws and other 120V machinery can abruptly shut down during operation due to a power interruption. When an unintentional shut down takes place, it is critically important that a machine does not automatically restart, catching the operator by surprise and leading to a serious accident.

Danray Products LLC has introduced its new sander safety scale to verify that the openings between the belt and disc and the tables on sanders are 1/8" or less.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 5,000 American manufacturing workers suffer injuries involving amputation or limb loss every single year. In all, amputations rank in OSHA's top three serious workplace injuries. Rockford Systems recognizes that these devastating, life-altering injuries are typically avoidable with the right safety equipment in place. The company's Detect-A-Finger drop-probe device, for example, is designed to prevent a riveter, welder or other small machine from cycling if it encounters fingers in the point-of-operation area, therefore preventing contact between the operator and dangerous moving parts.
