The Emerging Role of the Safety Professional, Part 1
This article, written by Donald R. Groover, CIH, CSP, and Jim Spigener, and published in the April 2008 issue of Occupational Health & Safety magazine, is the first in a series of articles on the emerging role of the safety professional in today's business landscape. The Emerging Role of the Safety Professional, Part 1, takes a look at the new landscape safety professionals must work within, the opportunity these circumstances present, and the major pitfalls that can derail a safety professional's credibility and value.
A Look Inside Light Curtains
Safety light curtains are an advanced method of safeguarding personnel around many hazardous machines. They offer freedom, flexibility, and reduced operator fatigue when compared with traditional guarding methods, such as mechanical barriers, sliding gates, and pull-back restraints. By reducing the need for solid guards where applicable, safety light curtains simplify routine tasks like machine setup, maintenance, and repair.

Learn how they work and where to use them in this Back to Basics primer on safety light curtains by Russ Wood of Omron STI, and published in Control Engineering magazine.

Universal Mounting Brackets Facilitate Fast Safety Interlock Mounting to Aluminum Profiles
Omron STI's Universal Mounting Brackets are resistant to harsh environments and enable users to easily mount their non-contact switches and actuators, tongue-actuated safety interlock switches and hinge-operated safety interlock switches to any structural aluminum profile in just minutes. Universal mounting brackets can also be used to mount non-contact switches to ferrous metals with minimal loss of range, and facilitate easy alignment of the switch and actuator.
