Machine Guarding

Machine guarding is very important with machines that have moving parts that have the potential for causing severe workplace injuries, such as crushed fingers or hands, amputations, burns, or blindness. Safeguards, such as machine guarding, are essential for protecting workers from these needless and preventable injuries.

When the operation of a machine or accidental contact with it can injure the operator or others in the vicinity, the hazards must be either eliminated or controlled using proper machine guarding techniques. Our mechanical contractors understand this and will work with you to ensure that these accidents never happen.

Many standard devices for controlling machine hazards as well as a variety of improvised barriers, enclosures, and specialized tools have been developed to control worker exposure to machine hazards. Machine guarding and other safety devices prevent human contact with hazard points during the normal operation of the machine. Control devices may be used to prevent the operation of the machine while a worker is exposed. Our experienced safety experts will gladly assess your safety concerns and work with you to provide a solution.
