<p>Not only have we partnered with a prevention mutual but over the last few years, our company has setup and evolved a workplace health and safety committee (CSST, in French). This helps actively prevent both incidents and accidents, at work.</p>
<p><em>AMEC Machining sees to the safety of its workers, from head to toe!</em></p>
<p>In fact, the company provides all its employees permanent hearing protection gear which are much more efficient and comfortable than conventional ear muffs. AMEC Machining also participates in the purchase of many other prevention items (boots, shells and others).</p>
<p>The Workplace Health and Safety Committee, made up of five (5) employees, meets once a month. These meetings make it possible to properly assess the state of the art safety gear and strategies but also, it&#8217;s the time when a formal follow-up is conducted for health and security issues, in the machining shop.</p>
<p><strong>For instance, the committee&#8230;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>carries out a monthly inspection of the machining shop;</li>
<li>makes follow-ups, at the meetings, on various themes such as the protective gear&#8217;s proper use as well as general prevention strategies;</li>
<li>does an annual check-up for all fire extinguishers and the lifting truck&#8217;s emissions;</li>
<li>has developed a procedure in the case of an accident where minor or major wounds occur;</li>
<li>proactively follows-up on the internal first aid classes;</li>
<li>attempts to find solutions to particular situations that can occur over the course of the year.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>For AMEC Machining, the ongoing efforts towards greater safety in the workplace help make the company a much safer place to be for all employees and visitors. Our proactive approach makes a world of a difference.</strong></p>
<p>Thanks to the safe environment of our machining shop, all our employees can go about their daily tasks without having to fear for foreseeable wounds — this helps provide you with very high quality machined parts, may they be complex or not, within reasonable delivery times.</p>
<p><em>Benefit from our leading edge machining expertise by contacting us, right away. Our friendly <a title="Contact us..." href="http://blog.amecmachining.com/contact/">Customer Service</a> will assist you the whole way with your project, until it&#8217;s delivered to your door.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="art" title="Speed and versatility - AMEC Machining" src="http://blog.amecmachining.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/amec_speed_versatility.gif" alt="" hspace="10" width="188" height="288" align="right" /><strong>The machining sector evolves under market pressures. With mounting requirements regarding cost, delays and quality, companies like AMEC Machining must constantly adapt and reflect on their future progression, for the year to come.</strong></p>
<p><em>It&#8217;s therefore important, to keep pace with the market, to stay at the leading edge of technology.</em></p>
<p>On a regular basis, new machine tools are announced, touting ever more impressive performances such as quicker movements, more precise actions as well as revolutionary architectures. In this race for the proverbial Holy Grail of performance and productivity, builders announce proofing machines with the clear intent to enhance their image, as innovators, in the machining field.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why, since 2006, AMEC Machining works hard to rejuvenate its machine pool by acquiring many of the most modern ones, mainly because they&#8217;re so efficient. Machining small and mid-sized precision parts is what AMEC Machining does. In order to stay strong in its market, AMEC must work with high-performance machines. That&#8217;s why AMEC Machining can always offer you an excellent service by delivering quality and affordable parts, within the right delivery delays.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img border="0" align="right" width="212" src="http://blog.amecmachining.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/formule_sae_amec.jpg" alt="Formula SAE - AMEC Usinage" height="348" class="art" /><strong>AMEC Machining actively encourages the up-and-comers in its industry, namely by hiring trainees, who are both supervised and trained at its shop while also sponsoring Laval University&#8217;s Formula SAE, in Quebec City.</strong></p>
<p><em>Have you heard about the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.formulesae.ulaval.ca/" title="Formula SAE">Formula SAE</a>?</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a university group where students come together, from various disciplines, to put together a racing car which will be presented in nothing less than the biggest student engineering competition in the world!</p>
<p>This great engineering competition, organized by the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sae.org/" title="SAE">Society of Automotive Engineers</a>, invites the competitors, among which you&#8217;ll find the Formula SAE participants, to conceive and then build, in its entirety, a functional race car prototype that could be produced (on an assembly line) and then, sold to the general public for less than US$25,000.</p>
<p>Since a considerable number of parts are required to build the prototype, <a href="http://blogue.amecusinage.com" title="Votre partenaire, en matière d'usinage...">AMEC Machining</a> offers the students, who are the very designers of this race car, a financial support, namely by insuring the production of certain key parts, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>the high-performance <strong>anti-drift differential</strong>;</li>
<li>a light and customized <strong>rear suspension</strong> which provides for a superior road handling.</li>
</ul>
<p>Since this is a major student initiative, AMEC Machining also offers technical support to help continually improve the project as well as financial support for promotional articles, such as the clothes.</p>
<p><strong>Our know-how at your service</strong></p>
<p>More than ever, AMEC Machining celebrates the creative genius of students among the most talented, in their field. You too can benefit from our machining know-how to optimize your parts and consequently, increase the success of your projects.</p>
<p><img border="0" align="right" width="212" src="http://blog.amecmachining.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/formule_sae_en_photos.jpg" alt="Formula SAE - Photos" height="348" class="art" />As a partner of choice, equipped with leading-edge machining gear and technologies, AMEC Machining aims to accompany you towards new heights for your projects involving precision machining, especially those requiring Swiss turning for small and medium-sized parts.</p>
