A look at the number of work-related injuries and fatalities shows that the majority of incidents are caused by hazards, such as slipping, tripping and heavy lifting. These everyday incidents add up to significant numbers of fatalities, injuries and costs. Assessing risks and eliminating potential workplace hazards helps ensure health and safety. With some foresight and thoughtful planning, companies can maintain safe workplaces while maximizing productivity.

Weighing applications are part of many production steps—from material receiving and batching to quality control and shipping. Floor scales in particular can present slipping and tripping risks or, if equipped with insufficient lifting mechanisms, may lead to serious injuries if the load plate collapses. A new white paper covers major considerations in selection, installation and training related to your weighing equipment that can help reduce the risk of injury.
