The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) is an American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-accredited standards developer, working to ensure all plastics machinery is safely built to standard to protect our industry’s most valuable resource: our people. To contribute your expertise as a member of a PLASTICS technical committee improving both safety and productivity, email Jeff Linder, Director of Industry Standards at jlinder@plasticsindustry.org. Make your voice heard.

The plastics industry depends on high-tech machinery to manufacture the products and materials that make modern living possible. Whether big enough to fill an average-sized home or small enough to sit on an office desk, this machinery should be built to standards designed, first and foremost, to ensure the safety of the machine operator or maintainer.

The ANSI-accredited operating procedures meet the requirements for due process and development of consensus required by ANSI. Through its Machinery Safety Standards Committee, PLASTICS is able to provide professionals throughout the industry a venue to work through ANSI procedures to ensure the standardization of plastics machinery to protect workers and achieve efficiency in productivity.
