VICKERS-WARNICK LAUNCHES
BRIDGING THE G.A.A.P.
A COMPLETE SOLUTION TO MACHINE
GUARDING
Vickers-Warnick is pleased to announce the launch of Bridging
the G.A..A.P. (Guarding and Assessment Process) which provides Ontario
manufacturers a complete solution for machine guarding and machine safety
applications.
The Vickers-Warnick G.A.A.P. program introduces a simple
7 step system which guides manufacturers through the process of both increasing
productivity while ensuring the safety of their employees.
Matt
Pickfield, CEO of Vickers-Warnick is very excited about the new program and
stated, "We have been serving the machine guarding and safety needs of Ontario
manufacturers for many years and encountered numerous customers who were
unfamiliar with current legislation and codes or face time constraints making
it difficult for them to manage their own machine guarding applications. The
G.A.A.P program has been designed to not only help customers identify
deficiencies in the guarding and safety of their equipment but also suggest
solutions. John Murphy, Fluid Power and Safety Manager has been our principal
speaker over the last six years at the Vickers-Warnick complimentary
'Essentials in Machine Guarding Seminars' and now 'Risk Assessment Seminars',
he has also been a guest speaker for the National Safety Council and recently
presented 'Safety Does Not End At The Wire' at the CSA/IAPA Safety Conferences.
His involvement with the CSA Z142, Z432, Z434 and Z460 gives John a unique
insight to the language and application of these codes."
John said, "As
the leader of the G.A.A.P. Program I see this 7 step process as a way to take
our clients' machines from a non-compliance condition to a condition of
compliance in a way that will not only raise the level of operator safety but
also increase overall productivity.
VICKERS-WARNICK is a
value-added industrial distributor of applied solutions for safety and machine
guarding, sensing and machine control, and motion control products.
Vickers-Warnick has been in business for over fifty years and have forged a
reputation in the marketplace for quality people, products, and services, along
