!Make sure your safety training pays dividends
The cost of implementing new training methods must be weighed against the losses incurred by not using training time effectively. But before taking workers off the job to talk about safety, you need to know what the message is, and how you will convey the importance and content of that message.

!Sustainable Manufacturing E-newsletter debuts next week
Sustainability is the farthest-reaching trend to hit manufacturing in years, and this latest E-newsletter from Plant Engineering will help you sort out how it will affect your organization and how you can best use it as a strategy for good business and a better bottom line.

 

!Managing predictive maintenance
When maintenance doesn't seem to contribute to a company's profitability, it is usually due to the fact maintenance is never developed strategically. The failure to integrate the components of a maintenance strategy also leads to excessive expenditures and a subsequent drain on profitability.

Electrical Safety Webcast: You've Completed an Arc Flash Study, Now What?
You've completed an arc flash study. Now what?

You realize the safety concern, business risk and cost of an arc flash incident. You've taken some steps to address it and you've discovered several potential areas in your facility where the hazards are great. But have you evaluated the solutions? Are you aware that you have many options to mitigate high risk areas? An arc flash safety program is more than just compliance to OSHA mandates. It should be a pro-active program that integrates a wide range of solutions into a comprehensive plan to minimize the personnel safety and business risks posed by Arc Flash incidents.

This webcast will provide the framework for a new way of looking at the problem from a broader perspective. We will feature arc flash mitigating techniques ranging from equipment labeling and personnel training, through solutions that reduce the available fault current, shorten fault clearing time, move people away from the arc, redirect the arc fault and even prevent the fault from occurring in the first place. We will also give you a look at the problem from a federal/regulatory viewpoint and we will offer some insights from people at the plant level who grapple with this issue every day.

Register today! If you're busy that day, register anyway and view the webcast on-demand.
