Protect Workers & Facility Equipment With Perimeter Guarding
Retractable machine guards from North American Safety Products (NASP) offer reliable employee and equipment protection in a wide variety of working environments. They can be used to surround virtually any type of processing equipment, such as press brakes, robotics, shears, slitting lines and much more.
Our high-quality expandable and retractable machine guarding reduces exposure to dangerous and potentially fatal work areas while helping to prevent injuries, lawsuits, and OSHA penalties. Instead of surrounding equipment with a wire mesh cage, REAR-GUARD® establishes safe and secure perimeters while allowing floor-to-ceiling equipment access.
Benefits of Safety Guarding Systems
Made with Round Edge Aluminum & Rivets
Machine guarding systems are used to keep both employees and expensive process equipment safe. Factories, warehouses, and any other facility that uses automated machines need to use reliable guarding products to ensure the welfare of workers. REAR-GUARD® is a simple yet highly effective way to protect personnel from hazardous automated equipment.
Some of the benefits of installing REAR-GUARD® machine guarding include:
- Easily keep people away from malfunctioning equipment by expanding the guarding system to block the machine off.
- Establish a safe perimeter that keeps personnel away from airborne debris, smoke, fumes, sparks, heat, fluids, and mechanical movement.
- Prevent employee injuries caused by accidental close contact with dangerous equipment.
- Prevent new personnel from unknowingly walking into a malfunctioning machinery area or automated equipment work cell.
Safety guarding systems also serve as a physical barrier between your visitors and potentially dangerous equipment. If your business ever has visitors from other offices or students on field trips, these products will help keep them safe.
