Dash Group Proudly Announces Investment in AI Technology by Leading Cabinet Making Client
In a progressive stride towards bolstering workplace safety, Dash Group is proud to announce the adoption of advanced AI technology by one of our valued cabinet making clients. Here, Halla Symons, our Shopfitting & Joinery recruitment consultant, shares insights into the transformative impact of the Altendorf Hand Guard—an innovative solution designed to detect hand presence near saw blades, revolutionising safety protocols in the industry.
Addressing Safety Concerns Amidst Escalating Costs
With the escalating costs of insurance premiums and workcover claims, cabinet making and joinery businesses face mounting pressure to prioritise safety measures. Dash Group recognises the financial strain these incidents impose on businesses and applauds proactive investments in cutting-edge technology to mitigate risks and safeguard workers’ wellbeing.
Introducing Revolutionary Technology: The Altendorf Hand Guard
The Altendorf Hand Guard represents a paradigm shift in panel saw production, earning accolades such as the esteemed “Best in German Industry” award in January 2024. Seamlessly integrating AI, sensors, and predictive capabilities, this technology serves as a proactive safety net, halting saw operations upon detecting hands or materials near the blade. By pre-emptively addressing common hazards like slips near machinery, businesses can foster a culture of safety and resilience.
Shared Commitment to Occupational Health and Safety
At Dash Group, our commitment to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) transcends rhetoric. We ensure all candidates undergo comprehensive site induction, equipping them with the requisite knowledge to operate panel saws safely within our clients’ workshops. Moreover, after induction and candidate onboarding, we conduct regular safety site audits and visits, reinforcing our shared responsibility to uphold OHS standards and mitigate potential risks.
