The seminar, ‘Protect Your People…And Your Wallet: Safety and Guarding Solutions for the Industrial Facility,’ will provide attendees with a virtual factory tour highlighting many proven safeguarding solutions to protect personnel, products and facilities while maintaining operational efficiency. “Accidents can happen as materials are made, moved, and stored and all areas of the warehouse are considered a top priority since each piece of equipment poses its own risk,” states Claire Porter of A-Safe, a ProGMA member company. “The importance of those risks will be discussed during the MODEX seminar and ProGMA members will offer insightful knowledge and solutions that can better protect employees, equipment and profits.” Key Seminar Takeaways include: Learn how to develop an industrial safety checklist by learning about common areas where guarding is often overlooked.
