| HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR DUST? |
| The collection and testing of dust samples is a long-established practice used by many powder and bulk processors to make informed dust collection decisions. Dust testing protocols have not changed markedly in recent years. The importance of dust testing, however, has changed, and the implications are significant. While knowing your dust has always been good practice, it is rapidly becoming a necessity in today's regulatory climate. |

| The New Safety Compendium |
| The primary purpose of safety technology on and in machinery is to protect people from potential
hazards. At the same time it protects the environment and the actual machine from harm.
Anyone dealing with safety in the mechanical engineering sector will quickly arrive at the issue
of standards. But it would be wrong to regard "machinery safety" merely in terms of ticking off
specified standards. Intelligent safety technology also represents innovative, future-proof engineering.
Good safety solutions do not obstruct the production process, in fact, they make it more effi cient. They are accepted by operators - rather than inspiring them to imagine ways in which unsophisticated safety equipment can be defeated. Viewed in this way, safety technology is not an isolated but an overall discipline, which permanently shapes the whole lifecycle of plant and machinery: Safety technology starts at the design phase,influences the commissioning phase and definitively shapes the efficiency of the operating process,including maintenance and service. In terms of content it includes a wide range of technical safeguards, safe control systems, through to safe drive technology. Safe communication systems such as SafetyBUS p and SafetyNET p guarantee reliable connections and hold the whole system together. |
