"Safety is at the forefront of everything we do," said Mark DeBlanc, a national sales manager -- Industrial Solutions for Stanley Black & Decker. "We focus on educational programs highlighting the risks associated with using and handling power tools, hand tools and storage products, and utilize our worldclass brands and products to implement initiatives focused on making our customers safer, faster and more productive."
Combat lost productivity
It is just as important to use the right tool for the job as it is to use and store those tools properly. Contact with objects and equipment is the cause of 25 percent of injuries resulting in lost work days, while slips, trips and falls account for another 25 percent1. PROTO provides solutions to keep tools out of the way and in order.
There were 104 million production days lost due to work-related injuries in 20161. Safety training from PROTO can help mitigate safety risks from the start, putting workers in a safety-obsessed mindset that helps protect them from potential injuries and prevents lost productivity.
PROTO tools are engineered and manufactured in the U.S. to help ensure quality standards are met and exceeded.
