Oakworks Expands Offering - CA 133 Compliance
February 26th, 2007
Shrewsbury, PA –
Oakworks, Inc, the premier US manufacturer of spa, massage, and medical equipment announced its ability to produce treatment tables that comply with one of the industry’s most stringent fire codes, CA 133. “Oakworks’ attention to regulatory issues is unprecedented in our industry and this is another great example,” explains Oakworks’ CEO and industry veteran Jeff Riach.
CA 133 is becoming an industry standard for high risk public spaces, such as hotels, hospitals, nursing facilities, etc... It has become law in several states and cities across the country with the intent to prevent fire associated fatalities in these venues. The standard requires that a fully upholstered seating unit, not just its components, pass a full scale open flame burn test and is by far the most difficult and comprehensive flammability test.
Crista Stark, Oakworks’ Director of Spa Development, explains, “The addition of this enhanced fire protection standard to our overall offering helps us serve a broader variety of customers, particularly in the hospitality and medical sectors.” Coupled with the UL listing that accompanies many of our tables, Oakworks is poised to offer spa tables, massage tables, and treatment tables with superior reliability, durability, and safety.
Oakworks, Inc., is the largest US manufacturer of treatment tables with global distribution in the spa, massage, physical therapy/athletic training, and medical diagnostic markets. Since its inception in 1977, the Company has been owned and operated continuously by its founders, Linda and Jeff Riach.
