Masonry: Discuss the importance of the issue of safety for your company.

Solomon: Safety is job No. 1. Not only for cost reasons but, more importantly, being safe in manufacturing as well as on job-sites makes it a win-win for all involved.

Michael D. Solomon

Michaels: Safety is of paramount importance in the design of Husqvarna products. There are four basic levels of safety addressed in product design and sales: Compliance, New safety features, Ergonomics, and Education.

The combined effect is a thoroughly tested product, which meets or exceeds all safety requirements for a particular market with complete operator's manuals and warnings. Husqvarna is an industry leader in safety features and new advancements and supports operator training and educational opportunities to ensure our products are used to the best of their ability. The intended result is a more productive and satisfied customer with lower operation costs, including reduced downtime for injuries and lower insurance or liability costs. Many of the injuries associated with construction products are due simply to the nature of the work. Falls and back injuries are typical injuries occurring on construction sites, many of these are believed to be linked to fatigue. Husqvarna believes that designing more productive, maneuverable and lighter weight equipment with less noise and vibration can reduce the fatigue that causes some injuries. Ergonomics is, therefore, a key component of the Husqvarna design.

Mark Michaels, Director of product management, Husqvarna Construction Products North America
