Unsure About Existing Guarding Compliance?
HSE accident investigations often reveal that inadequate guarding contributes to accidents. If you’re uncertain about the adequacy of the guards on your existing machines, we offer a Guarding Compliance Survey. This service includes an illustrated report highlighting any non-conformities and providing actionable suggestions to reduce risks, enhance safety, and ensure compliance with standards and regulations. Upon request, we can also carry out the necessary work to make your guards compliant.
