StickOmron STI's "Gotcha
Stick" Safe Distance Scale accurately tests the allowable barrier
opening size, based on the distance from the hazard zone as required
by ANSI and CSA standards based on recent data from the Liberty
Mutual Research Center for Health and Safety. This three-segment
stick features English measurements on one side and Metric
measurements on the other. Safeguarding machinery by means of fixed
and movable barrier guards is one of the most common means of
protecting personnel from point of operation and other identified
hazards. The Gotcha Stick is the easiest tool for verifying that
openings in barrier guards will not allow the hazard zone to be
accessed by an individual. Click Here to receive the "Gotcha Stick"

Bud to Boss: Management fundamentals for
your transition from co-worker to supervisor
The announcements have been made and the congratulations are
over...now what? As a new supervisor, the vast number of decisions
you are suddenly facing can be overwhelming. And one of the major
reasons first-time supervisors fail is that they are not given
adequate training or support. Most companies have some manager
training, but it usually falls short, covering just the mechanics of
the job. The training doesn't help develop the skills you need be
successful: how to communicate with employees effectively, manage
your time more efficiently and juggle multiple priorities.
This unique training course is designed to equip new supervisors
(like yourself) with the fundamental skills you need to skillfully
shift from team member to leader. Attend the Basic and Advanced
Courses or select the one that best fits your needs - the choice is
yours! For more information, visit http://www.budtoboss.com or call
