Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX)(NASDAQ: MOLXA) announces its
safety program training series, “Working Together for a Safer
Workplace”, that aims at educating electrical and safety engineers,
electricians and maintenance personal and electrical contractors to
common electrical safety hazards, as well as providing a safety
audit of the worksite and safety information from the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA).
“Molex has committed its manufacturing resources to a vast array
of innovative standard and custom Woodhead® products designed to
perform in the toughest environments while enhancing worker safety.
As part of our commitment, we are reaching out to electrical
contractors and other end users and OEMs across the country with
our safety training program,” said Scott Hagen, global product
manager, commercial programs, Molex Incorporated.
Molex’s safety training program includes a one hour training
presentation that will provide an overview of safety codes for
various applications along with OSHA and NFPA requirements and
focus on potential safety hazards found in many worksites. It
concludes with a facility safety audit with a walk-through
checklist. The safety audit will point out any safety violations
found in the worksite and provide safer solutions.
“We hope that our safety program will protect end users from
potential fines and provide a safer worksite with shorter downtime
and longer-performing products,” adds Hagen. “In addition,
companies that are engaged in an active safety program should
expect to see improved productivity, less work stoppage, lower
accident rates and insurance premium reductions.”
Molex distributor Carlton Bates Company, a subsidiary of Wesco
Distribution Inc., (NYSE: WCC) created a safety team to develop an
industrial safety solutions brochure and website,
www.carlton-bates.com/safety, and was looking for a safety training
program to meet their customers’ needs.
Mark Gilliford Supplier Relations Manager for Carlton Bates
said, “The safety team’s initiatives were to make it easier for our
customers to identify and find solutions for the machine and
personal safety requirements of UL and NFPA. When Molex showed us
its safety program training series, we felt it was an ideal
match.”
He continues, “The components of the Molex safety series provide
everything our customers need to easily understand the safety
requirements. We are excited to be a partner of this program.”
