New SafetyTek Forever Free EHS Solution Digitally Transforms Workplace Safety
The new cloud-based SafetyTek Forever Free EHS solution digitally transforms workplace safety best practices for companies of all sizes by providing the automation and data they need to proactively protect employees’ health and safety.
When it comes to protecting employees’ health and safety, the best defense is a good offense. Yet, too often, companies rely on manually-driven safety processes that track lagging indicators—hindering their ability to proactively identify and mitigate risk. Now, SafetyTek Software, a leading environment, health and safety (EHS) platform provider, is putting the automation of safety initiatives within reach for businesses of all sizes with its new SafetyTek Forever Free solution.
Available today, SafetyTek Forever Free is the only EHS software available at no cost to customers for the life of the subscription. The easy-to-use solution is the entry-level, no-cost subscription of the cloud-based SafetyTek Workplace Safety Engagement Platform being used by companies across North America. Safety, human resources (HR), IT department, and other managers can simply sign up for a SafetyTek Forever Free subscription, choose up to three ready-to-use documents that best support their safety program needs, begin using the solution within minutes, and invite their workers to participate using a link. There is no limit to the number of users because safety involves everybody.
With SafetyTek, businesses now can use their own data and leverage automation to:
● Make safety metrics and other insights readily available to managers via their computers or mobile devices in order to make decisions whether at the office, at a remote site, or at home.
● Enable employees and contractors to self-report proper safety procedures, use of tools and personal protective equipment (PPE), and other updates via their mobile phones.
● Deliver, manage and assess workplace safety talks, along with other communications.
● Reinforce safe habits with automatic smart reminders.
● Monitor employee safety performance as real-time updates come into a reporting dashboard.
The SafetyTek Forever Free solution provides the enabling technology behind the SafetyTek COVID-19 Workforce Health Analysis solution, which empowers managers and employees to unite in preventing and mitigating COVID-19 exposure. Launched in March 2020, the solution has been adopted by more than 1,000 companies in the first four months, alone.
“Nobody starts their workday trying to get injured or sick. But, many businesses leave their employees at higher risk due to the lack of insights and efficiency of their manual safety programs,” said Ryan Quiring, SafetyTek Software founder and CEO. “From the start, our mission has been to help companies maximize their workplace health and safety by making it fast and easy to move their manual processes to our data-driven, cloud-based EHS platform. With our new SafetyTek Forever Free solution, we’re extending this commitment by removing the financial barriers to digitally transform businesses’ safety programs.”

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.
Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
“With the increasing prevalence of high-velocity DCs, scheduling inbound deliveries can no longer be an afterthought,” said Chao-Ming Ying, Co-founder and CTO of New Horizon. “We developed the new MPRS functionality to address what had been a blind spot in many supply chains. Our customers are now taking advantage of this capability to streamline inbound logistics, increase receiving capacity utilization, and lower distribution costs.”
