| Many employers believe that bad or fraudulent employees drive up Workers' Compensation costs. When an employee is off on Workers' Comp for an extended period of time, it's not uncommon for an employer to say, "Tom was a model employee for many years. I can't believe he's milking the system.

What Purchasing Needs to Know about Hearing Conservation
|
| The ultimate focus of Purchasing is on the bottom line. But often,
getting what's best for less involves an understanding of products and processes far beyond pricing and volume discounts. This is particularly true in the case of hearing protection devices (HPDs), where making sound OSHA-compliant purchasing
decisions requires an understanding of both the risks of noise-induced hearing loss
(NIHL) and of the conservation products and programs designed to mitigate it. |

Color Contrast & Luminescence Sensors
|
| As the demand for products in the world-market continues to push production, the requirements for high-speed automated processes capable of providing these
products and components at lower cost and higher quality continues to increase.
Since subjective, visual inspection techniques are clearly not conducive to highspeed
inspection and control requirements, sensors have stepped in to fill this
need.
One of the key components in this high-speed production environment are the
sensors. These devices provide the evaluation of many features and
characteristics of products at rates exceeding hundreds/second. Photoelectric
sensors offer non-contact verification with far higher reliability and speed than
contact techniques. |
