White Paper Offers Advice on Business Justification of Machine Safety Investments

Milwaukee, WI — A new white paper from Rockwell Automation outlines the long-term financial benefits manufacturers can reap by integrating comprehensive machine safety programs into their workplaces as a form of insurance against potential risks.

Rockwell Automation offers a full line of safety automation products and services to provide customers with a single source for all their safety automation needs.

The paper, “Proving the Value of Safety: Justification and ROI of Safety Programs and Machine Safety Investments,” explains the key elements of effective risk management and programs, such as occupational safety, product safety, machine safety, environmental safety and equipment safety. It also reviews worker’s compensation and gives recommendations for implementing a proactive safety program.

“For manufacturers, taking proactive safety measures offers long-term benefits,” said Dan Hornbeck, manager, safety business development, Rockwell Automation. “Safety measures help protect people as well as a company’s bottom line, because reducing accidents and safety incidents boosts morale — and, less machine downtime means greater production. Every way you look at it, proactive safety measures make good business sense.”
