Efficient accident prevention

MARTOR safety technology

Wherever cutting takes place, there’s a risk of injury. Such incidents are painful for the user — and costly for the employer. In many cases, they also lead to damaged goods and wasted materials. Most workplace cut injuries are caused by unsafe cutting tools. The solution: MARTOR safety knives, equipped with reliable safety technology. Depending on the safety level you choose, you can optimise protection for both users and products.

Our safety knives = Active accident prevention

The high-quality, GS-certified MARTOR safety knives are equipped with reliable safety technology. There are five different options to choose from, depending on the level of safety you require. All safety technologies reduce the risk of cuts, but to varying degrees:

  • In the SECUMAX knife range, for example, the blade is securely shielded. Contact with the cutting edge is not possible.
  • On the other end of the spectrum is the SECUBASE knife family. The blade retraction can be deactivated, which increases the risk of accidents.

Depending on the design (concealed blade) or construction (controlled cutting depth), all safety classes include safety knives that provide excellent protection not only for the user but also for the packaged goods. Official accident statistics show year after year that a large number of suboptimal, unsafe work knives are still in use. Our goal is to minimise these accidents both nationally and internationally.
