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. More articles from Martor UK Ltd: |
