We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "OSHA",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Voltage indicators boost paper mill safety from
Grace Engineered Products, which we summarised at the time by saying "A voltage indicator is a permanently wired 'voltmeter' that provides electricians with a full-time, visual, independent, thru-door power indication".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Management system gets to grips with grease from
Gleaner Oils: "Cartridge management system provides optimal storage and handling capabilities revolutionising the way organisations use lubricants in the work environment".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Gleaner Oils
concerning its Label Safe
- take a look at Label system identifies lubricants
which says: "Label Safe enables operators to find what they need when they need it and helps avoid any misapplication of fluids".
Take a look also at the news release from Digi International, Radios monitor hoists in dangerous environments,
as well as Power alert improves electrical safety from Marsh Bellofram Europe,
and Cherry picker comes with dual engine from Eclipse Magnetics.
