Workplace safety overview

Workplace hazards can exist across a production area or site, and taking the appropriate steps to protect against, reduce or eliminate the risks. Here are some examples:

Machine Safety

Machines can present a variety of hazards, both in normal operation and when things go wrong. Protecting the operator, and ensuring the machine runs efficiently is vital.

From conveyors to compactors, and packaging machines to palletizers there are different ways to ensure that any entry points to the working machinery are guarded – either physically or using ‘optical guarding’.
In most cases the type of machine safety required is governed by different EN ISO standards, which together help machinery manufacturers and end users meet the requirements of the Machinery Safety Directive.
