Brady Toughwash™ signage creates new opportunities to
increase both food and employee safety
Food & beverage industries account for almost 24% of all manufacturing injuries according to EU OSHA. Increasing workplace safety and compliance with safety legislation is a high priority in food & beverage, although food safety always comes first. Now they can go hand in hand, thanks to a wide range of industrial safety identification solutions with low contamination risk from Brady.
With our industrial grade identification and safety solutions, food & beverage plants can prevent a great number of workplace accidents. Signs are available to warn coworkers about danger and inform them about the PPE they should wear. With floor marking pedestrian and vehicle traffic can be organised in separate and safer traffic lanes, during maintenance moving objects and valves can be locked with Lockout/Tagout, and spills can be prevented from spreading over the workfloor with spill control solutions.
We develop and offer a number of safety identification solutions with low contamination risks including:
Safety signs are a great tool to increase workplace safety and compliance. They can be used to prohibit actions that can be extremely dangerous in specific situations, to warn employees of present danger and to highlight actions required to work in a safe way. They also increase compliance with EU Directive 89/655/EEC on minimum requirements for safety and health while using equipment, and with the EN ISO 7010 and EN ISO 3864 standards. Unfortunately, many safety signs tend to crumble in typical food industry washdown cycles and threaten food safety, an absolute no-go in food processing industries.
With our safety identification solutions, food & beverage plants can increase compliance with a number of EU Directives:
Our solutions also help improve compliance with ISO 14001:
ToughWash signs are designed to avoid food contamination. The signs do not crumble when exposed to cleaning agents or pressure and for additional food security, a metal detectable ToughWash version is available as an extra safeguard. With ToughWash, food industries can increase workplace safety and compliance with safety signs, while upholding the highest levels of food security.
ToughWash signs are easy to clean and resist typical cleaning agents used in the food industry. They stay attached and remain legible, even when exposed to 70 bar (1000 PSI) under a straight angle from 15 cm away. This allows ToughWash signs to resist most washdown cycles in the stringent hygiene requirements faced by food industries.
ToughWash labels and signs can be printed at your premises with Brady's printing systems and are also available as standard, pre-printed safety signs that can be implemented without using a Brady printer.
