Steel Manufacture – Safe Access to Machinery
Which risk reduction measures can be applied to safe access to machinery used in Steel Manufacture?
Enclosed Spaces & Restricted Access In Steel Production
When colleagues perform tasks in enclosed spaces, measures are needed to prevent machine restart – but what solutions are available?
Sheet Metal Coiling in Steel Processing
Safe access is required frequently in normal operation of the metal coiling process. Safe & control I/O can help to automate machinery and keep operators safe during whole body access.

Automotive Manufacture Safety – Body Shop
Long production lines operating alongside heavy industrial machinery, lots of entrances and frequent access can make gate interlock installation inefficient and costly.
Construction Materials – Brick Forming
In large brick forming facilities, parallel conveyors can be used to transport bricks between the hazardous forming process to the packaging and palletiser areas.
Paper / Pulp – Recycling Facility
Recycling processes that involve machining paper & pulp can create dust, dirt and often require heavy duty wash-down procedures to clean machinery and remove byproducts.
Paper Machine Safety and Preventing Machine Restart – Roller / Winder
In paper production, access to machinery is required on a frequent basis. Whilst performing access, it is crucial to have measures which prevent unexpected restart to keep operators safe from harm.
Construction Materials – Instantaneous Access to a Brick Setter
Instant access to machinery can be achieved with a monitoring only interlock. When whole body access is also being performed in these locations, measures should be designed to mechanically prevent unexpected restart. Learn more about the Fortress Solution in this article.
