Safety of employees is a top priority for plant managers. In addition to the countless aspects that represent safety risks throughout a facility, the total cost of serious workplace injures exceeds over $1 billion per week according to the 2020 Workplace Safety Index.
This is HUGE, so we brought in a safety expert to get the low-down.
Dave Rice is the Territory Sales Manager with Datalogic's Sensors & Safety Division. Dave has been in safety product sales for more than a decade -- Dave knows Safety!
When you listen to this episode you will learn more about Dave and Industrial Safety, as well as:

• Hard guarding versus Light-based guarding
  
• Who is responsible for what
  
• What are the Safety Categories
  
• Application examples - when to use light-based as opposed to hard guards

You'll also hear Dave's take on collaborative robot guarding. Does he agree or disagree with Brandon's Brandology?
