Safety, Technology & Innovation
Safety, Technology & Innovation is a monthly update that delivers significant product information, educational articles and industry news from Omron STI and other expert sources to help make safety work, for you.
Become a Safety Leader
According to Joe Tavvener, developing safety leaders in your business can be the difference between marginal and world class results. So how does one become a safety leader, while cultivating the development of a culture of safety within their business? In Become a Safety Leader published in EHS Today magazine (formerly Occupational Hazards), Mr. Tavvener addresses these questions, helping readers to bridge the gap between management expectations and employee perceptions.








Is your Machine One of the 90% that are Incorrectly Guarded - or Not Guarded at All?
Performing a thorough assessment prior to applying safeguards is critical in order to create a proper guarding solution that allows for safety (compliance with the applicable standards) and productivity. Yet data collected by Omron STI shows that over 90% of the machines they assess are guarded incorrectly or not at all.

Available on demand for viewing at your convenience, A Practical Approach to Risk Assessment and Risk Reduction is a free one hour educational webinar that covers methods to perform a machine safeguarding assessment and how to use factors of risk and hierarchy of controls to determine the requirements for the safety related control system, and the proper application of guarding technology.


Alternate Control During Maintenance Tasks
Omron STI's SLD series switch locking devices enable personnel to quickly lock a safety interlock switch to a safe position allowing personnel safe access to the machine while performing tasks that are routine, repetitive or integral to the production process as provided for by standard ANSI/ASSE Z244.1-2003 section 5.4.

The robust design and construction of the SLD switch locking device blocks all access points to the actuation mechanism of the safety interlock switch. The SLD series is designed to accept locks with standard shackle diameters of 5/16" or 7mm. The SLD series is compatible with Omron STI's T2008, T2011, T4011, T4012, T4016, T5007, T5009, TL4019, TL4024 and TL8012-S safety interlock switches. More information on the SLD switch locking device can be found within the PDF downloadable datasheet for each compatible safety interlock switch.
