Learn more in What Safety Excellence Managers Do by Larry Hansen CSP, ARM, and first published in Occupational Hazards magazine.

| New Safety Mat System Eliminates Need to Replace Entire Safety Mat due to Damaged Cables |
UMQ Series Safety Mats from Omron Scientific Technologies, Inc. feature a patented IP67 quick-disconnect cable connector that promises significant cost savings to the user by reducing inventory requirements, while simplifying installation and replacement of damaged cables. The quick-disconnect feature allows for last minute cable length changes in the field, and since the cable is not attached until the end of the installation process, the potential for cable damage during installation is also significantly reduced.

| Did You Know? |
Do you know what 99.9% compliance means? As quoted from Jeff Dewar of Dewar International and Mike Rubell of the National Compliance Institute, in the United States it would mean:
- One hour of unsafe drinking water per month
- Two unsafe landings at O'Hare International Airport each day
- 16,000 lost pieces of mail per hour
- 20,000 incorrect drug prescriptions each year
- 500 incorrect surgical operations performed each week
- 15 newborn babies dropped at birth by doctors each day
- 22,000 checks deducted from the wrong account each day
- Your heart fails to beat 32,000 times each year
Imagine what this means in light of your requirements for machine safeguarding - can you afford to be anything less than 100% compliant?
