Nokian Heavy Tyres is celebrating a year without accidents leading to absence. The company says achieving this milestone is the result of goal-oriented work.

Nokian Heavy Tyres had 56 lost-time incidents in 2015, 10 in 2017 and five in 2018. As of September 2019, the lost time incidents frequency (LTIF) for the past 12 months was 0.

In the course of improving occupational safety, a great number of actions and improvements have been made, the company says. Factory workers are encouraged to speak up about possible health hazards and over 1,600 safety actions were reported by the end of 2018 in the heavy tires unit. Every meeting in the factory begins with a safety report and there are also appointed people to address safety issues.

One factor in zero absence is also the model for substitute work, Nokian says. If a minor accident happens and prevents a factory worker from continuing in the current post, there is a possibility to work on another project.

The Auxiliary Axle Systems division of Hendrickson Specialty Products introduced the new HLC Series 1 Air Kits. According to Hendrickson, the new HLC Series is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the previous generation HAC Series.

Users can choose between two two different configurations: HLC-SSI, for self-steerable applications, and HLC-NSI for non-steerable applications. Hendrickson says the HLC-SSI is equipped with an electric-actuated toggle switch and possesses the ‘lift on reverse’ feature, while HLC-NSI is designed with a manual push-pull operation and is suited for applications that do not need to lift when in reverse. The company tells us both kits were tested to perform in extreme environmental conditions.
