Machine Safety Guarding

Machine safety guards are components designed to limit interactions with dangerous machine parts. They are designed to lower risk and prevent operator injuries such as amputations, lacerations, and other critical health consequences, including death. By installing the correct machine safety guards required by your equipment, you can meet OSHA standards, lower the risk rate in your industrial facility, and minimize lost costs or equipment shutdowns related to injuries.
