In recent decades, the culture of safety is fortunately becoming increasingly widespread, albeit to different degrees and in different ways in different parts of the world. Both in those places where the issue of worker protection is paramount, as well as in places where attention to these issues is perhaps a little less so, but business relations with the former provide incentive to do so, companies implement increasingly stringent measures.

The Zero Accidents objective is also achieved through the choice of lifting systems
More and more companies - and we could say fortunately! - are setting themselves the objective of Zero Accidents, focusing on procedures, materials and training: the choice of lifting systems also plays an important role here.

Objective Zero Accidents: the choice of lifting system
The trend for companies around the world is to achieve Zero Accidents: an objective in which the choice of lifting systems also proves crucial
In the context of increasing safety in the workplace, many companies are setting themselves the goal of Zero Accidents: an important commitment, which involves investment, training, procedures. The choice of lifting systems is also crucial here.
It is easy to understand why the choice of lifting accessories and their correct use are decisive factors when it comes to safety: a load being lifted and handled can in fact pose a significant danger to operators or those transiting in the area. This danger naturally increases as the weight and size of the object being handled increases.
The know-how factor for lifting systems
An important factor in the choice of lifting systems is the selection of suppliers who have specific know-how in the field and can provide the right advice
Years of experience, study, production and adaptation to increasingly stringent regulations and widely varying uses are elements that really make a difference when selecting the lifting accessories to be used and therefore one's suppliers. Never more than in this instance must the reliability of parts be maximised and guaranteed by all possible means.
A quality manufacturer will not only be able to offer reliable, safe and tested lifting system accessories, but also provide all the advice necessary for their effective and safe use. This is part of how the goal of zero accidents is achieved.
All lifting system accessories must be tested at various stages of production, which must be perfectly organised in order to detect potential discrepancies and identify the batch(es) involved in their entirety. The end user must be able to rely completely on every single part leaving the factory.
Quality, control and training for safe lifting systems
All accessories for lifting systems must be of the highest quality, must be subjected to strict controls and it is necessary to know their exact use
When it comes to lifting systems, the watchwords are quality, control and training. Quality lies in the entire production process, from the design to the various processing and finishing stages, including the choice of raw materials to be used. The variety of the proposed catalogue is also indicative of a precise know-how developed over time, which has led to different models being proposed to be perfectly suited to different uses and requirements, but also to the personal preferences of customers: so much so that, in the case of specific needs, ad hoc products can also be created.
We have already mentioned control: a complete battery of tests carried out extensively on all production batches to ensure full conformity and reliability. Finally, training (Carcano has gone so far as to create special courses, the CARTEC Safety Academy), because even the best of products must be used in the correct way in order for safety to be guaranteed
