Caterpillar® promotes operator and jobsite health and safety though SAFETY.CAT.COM™

For release in Europe, Africa and the Middle East: 16 January 2009

Caterpillar has launched SAFETY.CAT.COM, a website dedicated to promoting the safety and health of everyone in, on or around Caterpillar products.

Health and safety is a cornerstone of Caterpillar’s sustainable development initiatives. As the theme “Safely Home. Everyone. Every Day.” indicates, Caterpillar believes that all injuries are preventable and focuses on creating a culture where everybody works safely.

SAFETY.CAT.COM, available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese, builds on Caterpillar’s commitment to providing its customers with the safest and most reliable products and services available; visitors to the site will find information that reinforces safety messages found in the company’s official Operation and Maintenance Manuals (OMM). The site also covers the world of safety in motion. Caterpillar videos on walkaround inspections and operating tips are available on demand from one online source.

Other SAFETY.CAT.COM offerings include OMM excerpts, multimedia pieces, and toolbox talks on a variety of safety topics. With information spanning the entire Cat product line, SAFETY.CAT.COM promises to become one of the most comprehensive safety sites for the industries Caterpillar serves.
