About Kader and D&F Consulting
Safety first
Welcome to our theme page Safety First!
Safety at work is not just about working with safe and approved means (such as the use of machines, tools, equipment and installations), safe behavior is just as important. Clear information, clear work instructions, the correct use of resources and regular maintenance and inspection - often mandatory - increase safety. Employers and employees are jointly responsible for this.
Besides physical security, digital security at work is also an important issue. A topic of increasing importance to the industry, due to the blurring boundaries between information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT). But also due to the laws and regulations that follow these developments.

The Modicon M580S (Safety) is a controller with safety modules and integrated safety functions. Built on the award-winning Modicon platform, Schneider Electric's Modicon M580 Safety Controller combines the performance of its flagship Modicon M580 Ethernet programmable automation controller (ePAC) with double the processing power for the independent control of safety and process functions. Industrial users can now take advantage of the very best M580 performance, network functions and cyber security without having to design, install and maintain separate safety systems.
