Based on US Department of Labor Statistics, approximately 3 workplace fatalities occur every day from contact with objects and equipment. With robotic and automated machinery in place in the manufacturing environment, it is more important now than ever to properly separate personnel from machinery.
Traditional woven wire and innovative welded wire partitions from SpaceGuard Products have been extensively used in machine guarding in manufacturing and industrial applications. Our wire mesh partitions are used as robotic enclosures, welding enclosures, and machine guarding for vertical lifts and other conveyor systems.
Additional fatalities and recordable incidents can also be attributed to falls and objects falling. While mezzanines and risers are an important part of optimal usage of floor space for industrial and manufacturing facilities, they also present fall hazards.
RailGuard Mezzanine Systems and SpaceGuard wire mesh partitions are ideal for protecting storage and personnel above the plant floor. The systems help prevent accidents while allowing supervision to have unobstructed views of the area. Our wire enclosures and guard railing also work in applications such as catwalks and areas above machinery for maintenance access.
SpaceGuard Products wire mesh enclosures keep the plant floor organized and can separate chemicals or other materials from personnel. Our SG2000 woven and welded wire mesh partitions are suggested for areas where the sides of the cage may be impacted by mobile equipment or items as they're stored, as the steel tube posts add extra strength to the wire enclosure.
Our sales associates can help you design sliding and hinged doors to handle wide loads. Doors can also be designed without overhead obstructions so that fork truck masts can drive inside of your security cage.
NIOSH has reported that forklifts strike pedestrians every day leading to approximately 100 fatalities and over 20,000 recordable injuries annually in the United States alone. With the necessity for mobile equipment in industrial and manufacturing facilities, comes the risk for pedestrian injury and accidents.
Safety products from SpaceGuard Products, including Rack Safety Systems, AisleGuard barriers, and FordLogan wire partitions, were designed to help prevent costly and dangerous accidents through area guarding and preventing fallen objects caused by mobile equipment.
