| Safety Light Curtain Installation & Usage Requirements |
|
Safety light curtains are designed to protect operators and other personnel working around a potentially dangerous machine. But before installing or using a safety light curtain a number of key requirements must first be met.
Do you know what the requirements are, and does your machine meet them? Learn more in Omron STI's guide to Safety Light Curtain Installation and Usage Requirements.

Authors Joseph Grenny and David Maxfield assert that while the significant gains in workplace safety realized since 1991 can largely be attributed to improvements in equipment, policies, systems and training, these formal tools often fail to address the more informal cultural challenges that continue to pose threats to workplace safety.
Grenny and Maxfield have identified five crucial safety conversations that should be taking place in an organization, but too often don't. Learn what those conversations are, and what you can do to help address them within your organization, in their article, Accidents Waiting to Happen: The Five Crucial Conversations that Drive Workplace Safety, published in the February 2010 issue of EHS Today magazine.

| Did You Know? |

Did you know machine builders, users, and integrators can use either EN 954-1:1996, EN ISO 13849-1:2006, or EN ISO 13849-1:2008 to prove presumption of conformity with the Machinery Directive through December 31, 2011? However, after that date only EN ISO 13849-1:2008 may be used for this purpose.
Although many Type C (machine specific) standards exist in the EU that still reference EN 954-1, these standards are replacing the outdated citation with reference to the new EN ISO 13849-1. This extension has no effect on EN ISO 13849-1, which has been in effect since 2006, has been harmonized in Europe, and will be the primary standard used to show compliance with the Machinery Directive in Europe.
The extension of EN 954-1 allows suppliers to legally sell products on the market that only comply with older requirements, even when newer harmonized standards provide stricter descriptions of 'state of the art'. Omron STI only sells products that meet the latest safety standards and are truly state of the art.
