The CNESST, Quebec’s workplace health standards and safety board honoured companies from the Eastern Townships region on Tuesday at the thirteenth National Health and Work Safety Grand Prix. In the Small and Medium Business innovation category Sherbrooke’s Moules industriels, a subsidiary of M. I. Intégration, took the Gold Medal for its three-in-one mobile wind tunnel table which replaces handheld quenching boxes that put their workers at risk of burns and back injuries. The electrically powered blower table is equipped with a rolling tray to remove the quenching boxes from the oven and a guide ensuring perfect alignment with the oven. The table allows workers to manipulate quenching boxes efficiently and safely, while reducing both the time required for cooling and electricity costs. The People’s Choice prize went to Artopex – Usine TEC Innovation inc. for its production line packaging station. Previously, when chairs came off the production line, they were fully assembled for inspection. See full story in the Friday, May 4th edition of The Record.
