“Impulses for a better working world” is the leading motto of this year's A+A and the parallel congress organized by Messe Düsseldorf together with the Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft für Sicherheit und Gesundheit bei der Arbeit (Basi) e.V. (Federal Association for Occupational and Health).
At every step of a building design or specification process, stakeholders have a choice. Decisions made at this stage materially impact the building experience far in the future. For this reason, many regulations aim to protect the accessibility rights of all kinds of users, young and old, ambulant or wheelchair-using.
“A gas discharge between two electrodes!” This is the definition of an electric arc. If an arc like this occurs in an environment involving high energies, an enormously hot plasma with extremely strong luminosity is created through which current flows continuously. The arc also creates a massive pressure wave that results in a loud bang. This undesirable occurrence in electrical installations is correspondingly dangerous. It is referred to in this context as an arc fault. In addition to the significant damage that such arc faults can cause in the affected installations themselves, they also pose a direct threat to the life and limb of everyone who carries out their work in environments of this nature. As a specialist for electrical occupational safety, Dehn assists in creating a comprehensive arc fault protection concept to ensure better protection for people and installations.

Linting and particle shedding of protective garments contaminate products during the manufacturing process. These particles can come from the workers or from the protective garments themselves.
The proper handling of contaminated PPE not only starts at the laundry or respiratory protection workshop. After each assignment, the equipment must be properly stored, packaged, transported and prepared. This is the only way to ensure the safety of service forces.
Safety-related application software plays a crucial role when it comes to the reliability of the installed safety technology. The Softema software tool provides valuable assistance during the development of this software. Phoenix Contact offers corresponding services for familiarization with the handling of this tool.

“Untouched since the ice age” is not a marketing slogan, but a fact – a real piece of the ice age that still exists today: When the ice melted, immense amounts of water drained away into the rock of the Swabian Alp mountains. The earth shifting in an unusual way then caused this reservoir to be sealed off approximately 400 meters below the outside world. Since then, heavy layers of impermeable stone have prevented rainwater from seeping through to the reservoir and have protected it from all the environmental influences of our time.

Carcinogenic hazardous substances or musculoskeletal disorders caused by work was number one topic
For fire brigades digitalisation is especially helpful for operational preparation and education. The Covid pandemic and floods in the most recent past have shown that disasters first have to be met with robust technology, experience and leadership personality. But even drones provide more and more helpful services.
Although the Internet of Things (IoT) has enjoyed explosive growth in recent times, it’s still a relatively recent concept. It is based around the idea of connecting any devices or objects that incorporate electronics, software or sensors, with the aim of collecting and exchanging data. Over the past few years, IoT has spread like wildfire, and shows little sign of slowing down. However, the component manufacturer Omron points out that this rapid increase in the number of devices or end points for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) also means that there is a correspondingly higher risk in terms of security.
The risks on business trips have risen sharply - not least due to the corona pandemic - and so have the demands on companies since they have a legal duty of care towards their employees and protect them from dangers. The innovative platform provider for travel and employee safety, Safeture, has developed a review tool together with Aon, a leading global consulting and service company that quickly and easily checks how well companies meet the new guidance document.
Even in times of crisis, most machines in the German industry run in chord. And demands regarding productivity, flexibility and efficiency are constantly growing. For many mechanics, electricians or technicians on the factory floor, this means: if a machine switches off for safety reasons, the clock begins to tick. But restart does not always go smoothly.
Detecting hazardous substances in the smallest concentrations and measuring them precisely is a major challenge, and not only for industry. With the Dräger X-act 7000, carcinogens or other hazardous substances can be measured more quickly and precisely than ever before – in refineries, hospitals, in fire services or even in a space shuttle! Bettina Runge, Dräger Product Manager, explains in an interview with GIT SECURITY how an innovative measuring solution opens up new possibilities for customers’ measurement strategies.
The pandemic has markedly accelerated the process of change in the working world. A fundamental change that enabled amongst other things the implementation of digital solutions overnight. At the same time, sustainability is more than ever the focus of society and industry. This opens up new areas of activity and raises new questions for the entire industry. How do we want to shape tomorrows’ world, how do we want to live, work and operate in this world while treating our fellow human beings and the available resources ecologically and responsibly?
In everyday work and the working environment, cuts are among the most common accidents at work. About 30 percent of all “non-fatal injuries” are external injuries such as hand-cut wounds.
