(In-Person) MTBMA Safety Committee Meeting
The committee meets to discuss safety within the transportation industry.
Event Details
This month we are meeting at the MTBMA office to enjoy a presentation by Mitch Hurn with Stanley Black & Decker after discussion about the upcoming Annual Safety Awards Banquet and Unity Ride/Work Zone Safety Fair.
DeWalt's "Perform & Protect" line is a series of power tools and accessories designed with enhanced safety and performance features. The goal of this line is to provide tools that not only perform well but also offer increased protection for the user. Here are some key features often associated with the Perform & Protect line:
- Dust Management: Many tools in this line include advanced dust extraction systems to minimize dust exposure, which is particularly important when working with materials like concrete or drywall.
- Vibration Control: Tools are designed to reduce vibration, which can help prevent user fatigue and reduce the risk of long-term injury from prolonged use.
- Control and Safety Features: This includes features like electronic clutches, which help prevent kickback, and other mechanisms that enhance user control and safety during operation.
These features make the Perform & Protect line particularly appealing to professionals who need reliable tools that can handle demanding tasks while also prioritizing safety.
