The HSE, the UK Health and Safety Executive, will be looking particularly at specific industries, which have been identified as having the highest injury rates.

The HSE, the UK Health and Safety Executive, has announced that from April 2005 inspectors will be looking particularly at specific industries, which have been identified as having the highest injury rates Whilst the two main priorities for inspection in terms of injuries experienced will be musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and slips and trips, unsafe packaging machinery is unlikely to escape the eye of the inspectors, according to Elite Control Systems

With that in mind, Elite believes the main industry sectors that would be the focus of attention would include fruit and vegetable processing, meat and poultry slaughtering, dairy and cheese manufacture, fish processing, brewing and bakeries.

Elite is now a Pilz Certified System Integrator, which means that it it is better placed than most system integrators to assist companies that need to upgrade the safety-related control systems on packaging machinery to meet the latest health and safety standards, added the company.
