TEXT OF THE SAFETECH MOVIEThe industrial conveyor. A simple and effective way of transporting material. It also represents a hazard for anybody working nearby. For example, in a waste paper processing plant, the conveyors lead directly to the shredder or baling press. Although sections of the conveyor can be covered, there has to be at least one access point where material is introduced into the system.Naturally, safety measures can be included, like emergency stop buttons, pull cords and video monitors. But all of these devices depend on the person in danger being conscious and able to stop the conveyor, or rely on the intervention of other people. Let's simulate a typical accident. The driver has to leave his vehicle to free a blockage. He slips and falls onto the conveyor. The man is unconscious and partially buried in material. No-one noticed the accident. He doesn't stand a chance - except that this man is protected by Safetech. Before he reaches the danger zone, the Safetech system shuts down the conveyor and sounds an alarm. The man is saved from serious injury or death. Safetech protects workers who are unconscious or injured, working alone, concealed or trapped beneath material and people who deliberately ignore regulations. Safetech prevents accidents without human intervention. Like many good ideas, Safetech is based on a simple concept. It makes human beings distinguishable from material. Anyone working near the hazardous area wears a Safetech detector belt. The detectors are light, comfortable and easy to wear, constructed to withstand harsh industrial environments and visually distinctive to help safety enforcement. We offer a choice of detectors: a simple belt and a reflective Sam Browne style. The two types can be used together on any site protected by Safetech. Both are equally effective and customers can choose whichever style they feel most appropriate. If someone wearing a detector belt enters the hazardous area, a signal is instantly sent to the Safetech Control System, which sounds an alarm and activates the emergency stop procedure. It can also send a signal to a remote control room or security post. Essential failsafes are built in. For example, the machinery can't be started unless the Safetech system is in operation. Safetech is suitable for protecting a wide range of processes, including all applications in refuse re-cycling, paper and board mills, and many manufacturing and engineering functions. Sentinel is a new and improved version of the personnel protection system developed and refined by Safetech and used successfully in the recycling industry for over twenty years. The installations are rugged and reliable - our earliest systems are still going strong after over twenty years of successful operation. Safetech can cope with extremes of temperature and humidity and high levels of background interference. We firmly believe that no other system available today offers protection like Safetech. Let's sum up the main reasons that contribute to Safetech's unique position in the world of accident prevention:
