New knife
November 1st 2011

MARTOR chose the Health & Safety North to launch its latest safety knife- the Merak. It is modelled on the successful MARTego with its squeeze trigger blade activation system and includes the fully automatic blade retraction (IBR)technology As a guide to improved safer cutting MARTOR created a Safety Index for knives where Level 1is the highest and is exclusively for cutting and slitting tools such as the specialist reel snails and safety scissors. Level 2 includes the concealed blade knives, level 3 represents knives benefiting from the fully automatic retracting blades, whilst level 4 contains knives with spring loaded retracting blades.

Lower levels include fixed blade, scalpels and so on. Many companies are using the safety index as targets for improvements.
