SafetyFirst is about workplace safety, encompassing the use of safe and approved devices and safe behavior. Clear communication, precise work instructions, proper equipment use, regular maintenance, and, if necessary, periodic inspections all contribute.
SafetyFirst also keeps you informed about current and upcoming safety regulations, focusing on their impact on your operations. We've particularly emphasized the new European regulation 2023/1230 concerning machinery, which is crucial for both manufacturers and users of machinery and devices. For the first time, topics such as cybersecurity and artificial intelligence are addressed. Due to the increasing digitization of the work environment, digital security has become increasingly important. Being successful in a safe environment means that employers and employees must jointly ensure both physical and digital safety.
itsme gladly contributes to this success by closely monitoring safety developments and trends, reporting them in our news articles, newsletters, our knowledge magazine "Signaal," and live in our SafetyFirst webinars. In early 2024, we organized a webinar titled "Operational Cybersecurity" on the protection of industrial networks. Webinars on NIS2 and safe and hygienic food production will follow later in the year.
