Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release PLM plans for a safe seat from
Applied PLM Solutions, which we summarised at the time by saying "Safety, style, and utility rule the child seat, pushchair and travel system market, and Britax uses Catia V5 to excel in all departments while increasing productivity".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Safety pack distributed free of charge from
A-Plant: "A 60-page health and safety handbook is incorporated in the new version of the Site Safety Pack, which provides information on topics including hand arm vibration safety".
In April 2007, we covered the news from SATRA Technology Centre
concerning its Ballistic eyewear testing
- take a look at SATRA adopts ballistic eyewear testing
which says: "SATRA has purchased a new ballistic test machine to assess safety eyewear against the consequences of impacts from high-speed metal particles".
Take a look also at the news release from Seaward Electronic, New effective earth continuity testing,
as well as System converts serial devices to TCP/IP from MAC Solutions (UK),
and Steam trap receives university recommendation from Gardner Energy Management.
