BladeStop recognised by ISSA with Safety Award

ISSA Safety Award 1440x1440

Scott are proud to announce that BladeStop has received a Safety Award issued by the ISSA Section Machine and System Safety. The ISSA safety awards are relaunched every three years, and are designed to motivate machine manufacturers to pursue machine safety and ergonomics.

An international jury evaluated the machines which were submitted for the Safety Award according to special criteria. It was checked if an innovative technology was applied and a branch-crossing solution was implemented. BladeStop was one of three exemplary and outstanding solutions winners of the award for 2023.

Our award winning BladeStop bandsaw is uniquely designed to reduce the risk of serious injury by mechanically stopping the blade when the unit senses that the operator has come in contact. With the fastest stopping time on the market, BladeStop are global leaders in bandsaw safety with over 1600 units in market, across 30 countries.

The award ceremony will take place at the 23rd World Congress of Safety and Health at Work in Sydney from 27th to 30th of November 2023.
