A global leader in bulk material handling technologies, Martin Engineering, recently received the RAVS Plus recognition from ISNetworld (ISN), a large global safety compliance group. As a result of receiving this recognition, Martin Engineering's reputation as a leader in industrial safety has been solidified.
This ensures a "culture of safety," it said in a press release, that would be practised and taught to customers, guaranteeing a work environment with fewer risks and injuries. It also demonstrates to customers of the company that the organisation is displaying a higher level of scrutiny, and safety is an important aspect of the organisation.
"The entire RAVS Plus process was definitely a team effort," said Janice Verbeke, Global Director of People and Culture for Martin Engineering. "Everyone involved rallied to make this accomplishment happen. But the foundation of safety had already been established here long before I arrived."

Traditional in-person audits were changed with the introduction of Covid-19 restrictions. Five experienced Martin technicians were coordinated to take an ISN survey and were selected to represent a wide variety of industries served by Martin Engineering, including cement production to mining. The survey was designed to test their knowledge of certifications to equipment in order to ensure the training and procedures had been carried out and were working as intended.
Martin Engineering was first founded more than 75 years ago, with the invention of the company's first industrial flow aid device from Edwin F. Peterson, the Vibrolator Industrial Vibrator, to protect employees from manually hammering clogged hoppers. Following on in its stead, the company has introduced its Foundations series of textbooks, to train the next generation on safe bulk material handling and conveyor operation. 'Foundations for Conveyor Safety' is considered the most comprehensive safety-focused book of its kind.
"The most positive outcome of the ISN recognition is the sense of gratification that we, as an organisation, were willing to put ourselves up to scrutiny and demonstrated that safety is our culture, it's not just talk," Verbeke remarked. "It's a deep belief system that we practice every day."
