RIA Publishes New Safety & Compliance Page on Robotics Online



(ANN ARBOR, Michigan USA) Robot safety is a topic of extreme importance to Robotic Industries Association, the only North American trade association dedicated solely to robotics. RIA is the secretariat of the ANSI/RIA R15.06 National Robot Safety Standard and recently published a new page for safety and compliance on Robotics Online, the Association's website.

"This new page compiles an extensive library of information about robot safety that is available from RIA," said Jeff Burnstein, RIA President. "Safety is profoundly important to the continued use and acceptance of robotic technology. We are happy to report the industry has a very good track record for safety, and we devote substantial resources to help keep it that way."

A webinar on Robot Safety Awareness is showcased on the new Robotics Online safety and compliance page, as are case studies, articles and links to resources about training.

"It is easier than ever to find the ANSI/RIA National Robot Safety Standard from our new page," said Burnstein. "Plus, Robotics Online enables RIA members to login for discounts on publications, request training, and take advantage of member rates for the National Robot Safety Conference (September 24-26, 2012, Indianapolis, Indiana)."

A new RSS "safety feed" is available to help people keep track of all the news about robot safety: www.robotics.org/feeds/safety-in-robotics.xml. (Note the "XML" extension; you will need an "RSS reader.")
