Keep Your Materials Testing Process Safe:
5 Critical Considerations
Materials testing often involves large, heavy, complex machinery, and the right safety practices are critical for minimizing the risk of incidents that could harm operator health!
Testing equipment (such as the solutions offered by ZwickRoell) should be designed for safety from the ground up. But even the most safety-conscious equipment must be paired with trained operators, transported with the utmost care, and carefully restricted to its intended use.
Of course, materials testing procedures vary widely by industry, and the safety concerns of any given application will be different. That’s precisely why it is important to tailor safety features to each specific use case.
