Most machines and industrial systems rely on physical guarding to protect employees from hazardous moving parts. However, simply having guards in place is not enough, they must be correctly designed, positioned, and compliant with safety regulations to be truly effective.
Machine guarding plays a crucial role in preventing accidents, reducing risks, and ensuring a safe working environment. Poorly designed or incorrectly placed guards can lead to safety gaps, putting workers at risk and leading to non-compliance with essential industry standards. To meet regulatory requirements, businesses must follow key standards such as ISO 13857, which defines safe distances to prevent access to danger zones, and ISO 14120, which provides guidance on the design and construction of guards.
