On September 21st, I participated in a round table discussion sponsored by Manufacturing Automation magazine.
We covered a lot of ground in the discussions, touching on harmonization of machinery safety standards, application of OHS laws and the ability of manufacturers and employers to comply with requirements, and a lot more.
We had some great people around the table for these conversations. At the table were:
Wayne De L’Orme ? Ontario Ministry of Labour;
Elizabeth Rankin ? CSA Standards;
Dave Lawson ? Advanced Motion & Controls;
Jeff Mathyssen ? Electro-Mag;
Rick Sauer ? Festo; Dan Fournier ? Omron;
Lisa Bolton ? Sherrard Kuzz LLP; and
myself.
The round table will be the feature story in the November / December issue of Manufacturing Automation, and a video of the discussions will be available on their website.
