&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the past decade safety has become a high priority on the plant floor, and this is great to hear. Why? It means that employers want you to go home at night healthy and safe.  These days it seems like you can&apos;t move without tripping a safety circuit on a machine and this has been changing the way we think about safety. With the advent of safety over Ethernet, we can monitor the safety system, make decisions, and notify people of problems faster than ever before.

The Kinetix® 300, 350, 5500 and 5700 all feature built-in safety functionality. With Safe Torque-Off, a drive output is disabled to remove motor torque without removing power from the entire machine.  The Kinetix® 5500 and 5700 also allow for the configuration of safety over Ethernet when a safety controller is present. This helps reduce panel wiring and increases the diagnostics into your safety application.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt;&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;color: #000000; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-family: &amp;quot;trebuchet ms&amp;quot;, geneva, sans-serif;&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-family: &apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The Kinetix® 5700 advanced safety tools use integrated drive safety functions, or instructions, to help your system meet specific performance criteria. When integrated into control and motion systems, pre-certified safety functions can help companies save on project costs and improve overall system reliability.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-family: &amp;quot;trebuchet ms&amp;quot;, geneva, sans-serif;&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-family: &apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The list below shows some of the advanced safety features on the Kinetix® 5700.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10pt;&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;color: #000000; font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-family: &amp;quot;trebuchet ms&amp;quot;, geneva, sans-serif;&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; font-family: &apos;trebuchet ms&apos;, geneva, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br data-mce-bogus=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 153, 102);&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;color: #339966;&quot;&gt;Safe Stop 1 (SS1)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 153, 102);&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;color: #339966;&quot;&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Initiates and monitors the motor deceleration rate within set limits to stop the motor and initiates the STO function when the motor speed is below a specified limit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 153, 102);&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;color: #339966;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Safe Stop 2 (SS2) &lt;/b&gt;-&lt;/span&gt; Initiates and monitors the motor deceleration rate within set limits to stop the motor and initiates the Safe Operating Stop function when the motor speed is below a specified limit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 153, 102);&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;color: #339966;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Safe Operating Speed (SOS) &lt;/b&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;Prevents the motor from deviating more than a defined amount from the stopped position.

Today, the sequence of activities includes turning off power, performing Lockout / Tagout procedures, selecting proper PPE for the hazard - assuming the presence of power and testing with a hand-held test device. Now, with the permanently mounted absence-of-voltage tester, the worker will have the ability to (automatically) conduct the steps without being exposed to a hazard and needing PPE. The worker can now verify absence of voltage while eliminating multiple steps in the standard sequence.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;&quot; trebuchet=&quot;&quot; ms=&quot;&quot; geneva=&quot;&quot; sans-serif=&quot;&quot; font-size:=&quot;&quot; 10pt=&quot;&quot; color:=&quot;&quot; rgb=&quot;&quot; 0=&quot;&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;xmsonormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;&quot; trebuchet=&quot;&quot; ms=&quot;&quot; geneva=&quot;&quot; sans-serif=&quot;&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;xmsonormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;&quot; trebuchet=&quot;&quot; ms=&quot;&quot; geneva=&quot;&quot; sans-serif=&quot;&quot; font-size:=&quot;&quot; 10pt=&quot;&quot; color:=&quot;&quot; rgb=&quot;&quot; 0=&quot;&quot; data-mce-style=&quot;font-size: 10pt; color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Would you like to learn more about absence-of-voltage testers or see a demo?

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Are you ready to comply with the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) 2018 edition of NFPA Standard 70E for electrical safety in the workplace?  This standard provides requirements to help employers reduce risks to employees from arc flash and other hazards when working on or near energized equipment. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Significantly, it promotes the importance of the hierarchy of risk control methods (including placing the hierarchy on the front cover of the 2018 edition).&amp;nbsp; It also considers the likelihood of occurrence of arc flash hazards when assessing risks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br data-mce-bogus=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;In NFPA 70E 2018, the hierarchy of risk control methods has been moved from an informational note into the main text of the standard, which emphasizes its importance. In this hierarchy, elimination of the hazard is the first priority, and each subsequent method is considered less effective than the one above it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br data-mce-bogus=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Notably, personal protective equipment (PPE) is listed as the last priority in the hierarchy.&amp;nbsp; Thus, arc flash safety should not be solely a matter of determining the right level of PPE for a given task.&amp;nbsp; For each process, PPE only comes into use after other more effective means of risk control have been considered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br data-mce-bogus=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;As you consider your next arc flash analysis, ask yourself:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br data-mce-bogus=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Has your electrical equipment been properly maintained and tested according to the manufacturer recommendations?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Have you reviewed the areas in your facilities to determine how you can eliminate or reduce the arc flash hazards, even if you have appropriate PPE?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br data-mce-bogus=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;To learn more about the impacts of NFPA 70E 2018 or to discuss arc flash studies, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.revereelectric.com/request-solutions-information&quot; data-mce-href=&quot;../../../request-solutions-information&quot;&gt;contact us&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;!--/gm-editable-region--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;column col-sm-6-clsstmp col-xs-6-clsstmp col-md-3&quot;&gt;&lt;!--gm-editable-region--&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/ASSETS/IMAGES/CMS/STATIC_IMAGES/Blog_Imgs/Arc Flash Blast.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot; class=&quot;img-responsive&quot; data-pagespeed-url-hash=&quot;1169251222&quot; onload=&quot;pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);&quot;&gt;&lt;br data-mce-bogus=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;!--/gm-editable-region--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;row&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;column col-md-12 col-sm-12-clsstmp col-xs-12-clsstmp&quot;&gt;&lt;!--gm-editable-region--&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;../../../roller/&quot; data-mce-href=&quot;../../../roller/&quot; data-mce-tabindex=&quot;0&quot; tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;See all Blogs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;!--/gm-editable-region--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;templateValuesId&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;																																																																																																																																																									&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt; In manufacturing, if you see a conveyor, there is a high probability that you will also see cable pull switches. Cable pulls perform an important function in the emergency stopping of a line, but they come with some shortcomings.  Wouldn&apos;t it be nice to have a more efficient cable pull switch? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;img src=&quot;/ASSETS/IMAGES/CMS/STATIC_IMAGES/Blog_Imgs/GracePortimg2.jpg&quot; class=&quot;img-responsive&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The GracePort®+ is a UL Recognized large protected housing that secures Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) and other valuable electrical components. The cover kit has the added benefit of including our custom line of GracePort® components to be installed within the housing.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A robust polycarbonate cover and corrosion resistant 316 stainless steel hinge pins help protect from environmental contaminants such as UV, dirt, dust, oil and water, making the GracePort®+ well suited for outdoor applications. The padlockable housing adds an additional layer of protection by only allowing authorized personnel access to the components within the cover kit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Customization of the GracePort®+ provides the ability to select specific configurations to meet precise needs with Grace&apos;s line of PESDs and GracePort® components. Customers will also be able to request special text and company logos to be printed on the faceplate. The faceplates can be customized to provide housing for many leading manufacturers&apos; HMIs.&lt;/p&gt;

When considering compliance with the lock out‐tag out regulation, many will assume locking out the hazardous energy sources is all it takes. In reality, there is much more to a lockout-tagout program than just creating a safe work environment during servicing.

&lt;p&gt;A corporate policy is meant to define the scope and rules of the lockout‐tagout program. It explains when lockout is necessary, who is authorized to perform work, how to safely lockout equipment, and how to address special circumstances. Every aspect of the program and what everyone’s responsibility is when it comes to lockout / tagout should be outlined in the company’s policy. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Employee Training &lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/ASSETS/IMAGES/CMS/STATIC_IMAGES/Blog_Imgs/ESC%20Lockout%20Tagout-e802c62f.jpg&quot; class=&quot;img-responsive imgRightAlign&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to ensure work is safely performed, employees who will be involved in servicing must be trained to understand and recognize the dangers associated with lockout‐tagout. They must know how to properly isolated energy sources and apply the correct lockout devices. Proper shutdown and restore techniques should be taught as well as how &amp; when to use lockout‐tagout procedures. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The training should also cover special circumstances such as group lockout so employees understand the corporate policy. Affected employees (those not performing lockout / tagout) will also need awareness training on the purpose and use of lockout‐tagout. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Documented Lockout-Tagout Procedures &lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/ASSETS/IMAGES/CMS/STATIC_IMAGES/Blog_Imgs/Lockout%20Tagout%20Image%201-bea844cf.jpg&quot; class=&quot;img-responsive imgRightAlign&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Machine specific lockout‐tagout procedures should be developed for each machine at the facility. These procedures need to list the energy sources to be isolated during the lockout, residual energy sources that must be released, and any additional warnings or hazards. Disconnect types, locations, and magnitudes need to be a part of the procedures. Steps to shut down and lockout the equipment should be included as well as steps to restore the system to normal operations. Finally, methods to verify the equipment is in a neutral state are necessary to protect worker safety during lockout. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Proper Hardware and Devices&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/ASSETS/IMAGES/CMS/STATIC_IMAGES/Blog_Imgs/Lockout-Tagout%20Procedure-56ac9774.jpg&quot; class=&quot;img-responsive imgRightAlign&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt; In order to lockout the equipment, specific locks, tags, and devices are needed. They must withstand the environment and not be easily removed without excessive force.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All energy sources that accept a padlock must use one; valves and disconnects that don’t accept a padlock will need specific hardware such as a cable or breaker lockout devices to keep the disconnect in the off position. These devices will need to be properly applied and locked out. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Locks and devices must identify the individual performing work, along with additional information about the purpose and duration of the lockout. If needed, a durable informational tag can also be applied to the isolation point, identifying the authorized employee(s).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Annual Inspection&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;/ASSETS/IMAGES/CMS/STATIC_IMAGES/Blog_Imgs/Safety%20Tools%20Image-ec8951c3.jpg&quot; class=&quot;img-responsive imgRightAlign&quot;&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At least once per year, the energy control program must be inspected to identify any errors that may exist. Procedures need to be reviewed to verify they accurately reflect the equipment and needs of the workers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorized employees also must be observed performing lockout‐tagout to ensure they follow the procedure and create a safe work environment when performing maintenance. . &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Summary&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt; All companies need these five components in order to run a successful lockout / tagout program. It will clarify the expectations and make maintenance activities run smoother. Most importantly, following these steps will guarantee a safe work environment for both the authorized employees and those affected by lockout / tagout.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;OSHA&apos;s &quot;$afety Pays&quot; program can help employers assess the impact of occupational injuries and illnesses on their profitability. This program uses a company&apos;s profit margin, the average costs of an injury or illness, and an indirect cost multiplier to project the amount of sales a company would need to cover those costs. The program is intended as a tool to raise awareness of how occupational injuries and illnesses can impact a company&apos;s profitability, not to provide a detailed analysis of a particular company&apos;s occupational injury and illness costs.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The&lt;a title=&quot;&quot; $afety=&quot;&quot; pays&quot;=&quot;&quot; program&quot;=&quot;&quot; href=&quot;https://www.osha.gov/dcsp/smallbusiness/safetypays/estimator.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;$afety Pays&quot; program&lt;/a&gt;will: &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Allow users to pick an injury type from a drop-down list or to enter their workers&apos; compensation costs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prompt users for information to do the analysis, including their profit margin and number of injuries&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Generate a report of the costs and the sales needed to cover those costs&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.osha.gov/dcsp/smallbusiness/safetypays/estimator.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Start the Safety Pays Program&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is your plant safe? Hopefully this is a question that is being contemplated and addressed on a continual basis. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration governs the area of machine safety and it has been proven that “Compliance with OSHA standards can not only help prevent needless workplace tragedies from accidents, but it can also help minimize the number of injury-related employee absences, keep workers&apos; compensation and other insurance costs to a minimum, and promote higher productivity from employees who can feel secure that the company is looking out for their safety.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Those companies not in compliance with OSHA can suffer large fines simply for non-compliance, but if there is a work related injury or death that occurs due to a known non-compliance, the litigation costs can be devastating to an organization. Did you know that approximately &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;one-half of all amputations occur in the manufacturing sector?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Amputation is one of the most severe and crippling types of injuries in the occupational workplace, often resulting in permanent disability. A review of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) annual survey data, National Institutes of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) data, and OSHA Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) data indicates that amputation injuries are widespread throughout many industries and involve a wide range of activities and equipment, but again, &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;one-half of all amputations occur in the manufacturing sector&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Knowing that machine safety is a very important topic, we are honored to have a renowned lawyer, Donald H. Carlson, present at our &lt;a href=&quot;javascript:void(0)&quot;&gt;Solutions Symposium at the Tommy Thompson Center on Wednesday, May 14&lt;/a&gt;. Mr. Carlson will be speaking on the importance of safety compliance and will explain how companies like yours can reduce the risks of litigation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Don has lectured extensively on issues such as products liability, toxic torts, trial practice, insurance coverage and commercial litigation for the Wisconsin Bar Association, the Milwaukee Bar Association, the Wisconsin Association of Corporate Counsel, the Marquette University Law School, and the Professional Education Seminar Group. Additionally, he regularly participates in the Institute of Trial Practice sponsored by the American Board of Trial Advocates and the State Bar of Wisconsin.&lt;/p&gt;
