What are safety guarding systems?

Safety guarding systems are comprehensive solutions designed to protect workers from hazards in workplaces, especially around machinery and dangerous equipment. They typically include:

  • Physical Barriers – Guards, fences, or enclosures to prevent access to hazardous areas.
  • Interlocks – Systems that stop machinery when guards or gates are opened.
  • Safety Devices – Light curtains, pressure-sensitive mats, or two-hand controls to detect worker presence and stop machines.
  • Perimeter Guards – Safety fences or panels to secure restricted zones.
  • Control Systems – Integrated solutions that prevent machine operation under unsafe conditions.

These systems ensure compliance with safety standards (e.g., OSHA and ISO) while minimizing risks, protecting workers, and maintaining operational efficiency.
