Employee Morale: Examining the Link to Occupational Safety & Health

Is there really a direct and quantifiable link between the morale of your employees and their on-the-job safety? And does high morale increase safety, or does increased safety improve morale -- or is it a "both-and" proposition? Just how intertwined are morale and occupational safety and health?

Find out in Employee Morale: Examining the Link to Occupational Safety & Health, a substantive research study from ASSE (The American Society of Safety Engineers) produced by Michael Behm and published in the October 2009 issue of Professional Safety magazine.

Improve Productivity by Reducing Wait Time to Safely Access Machine

Omron STI's new G9SX-SM Standstill Safety Monitoring Unit can help improve productivity by monitoring standstill status for machines with varied hazardous stop times -- with no sensors required.

When hazards have a long run-down time, door-lock control using an off-delay timer results in extra waiting and wasted time. With the G9SX-SM, extra wait time is reduced because the system monitors the motor's movement and unlocks the machine's access door as soon as the motor stops.

The G9SX-SM system can operate out of the box without any need for sensitivity adjustments; or users can manually adjust system sensitivity to the specific needs of each machine. Additionally, it can be used with inverter-controlled systems without any threat of malfunction due to the inverter's dynamic brake or auto-tuning functions.
