Machinery and process equipment can create significant hazards to personnel when in operation. Physical guarding should always be the primary approach to mitigating these hazards. However, the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC also covers the use of electronic sensing and intelligent safety systems. These systems can ensure machines are safe to operate, compliant with health and safety law and deliver optimum productivity. Our range of machine safety and warning components can help you maintain or upgrade your machinery safety, keeping personnel protected at all times.
