Caterpillar launches safety website

Posted on 15 Jan 2009

Caterpillar has launched safety.cat.com, a website that the company has aimed at promoting the safety and health of everyone in, on or around Cat products. Health and safety is listed as a cornerstone of the company’s sustainable development initiatives. The company’s theme, ‘Safely home. Everyone. Every day” is designed to indicate that all injuries are preventable and focuses on creating a culture where everybody works safely.

The website is available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese and aims to build on the company’s commitment to providing its customers with the safest and most reliable products and services available; visitors to the site will find information planned to reinforce safety messages found in the company’s official operation and maintenance manuals (OMM). The site covers the world of safety in motion. Caterpillar videos on walkaround inspections and operating tips are also available on demand from this online source.

The website has OMM excerpts, multimedia pieces, and toolbox talks on a variety of safety topics. With information spanning the entire Cat product line, the company hopes it will become one of the most comprehensive safety sites for the industries Cat serves.
