Our Expert's Note on Facility Safety

"When clients tackle a machine safety upgrade project, they often focus only on production, packaging, and material handling equipment and ignore their mechanical/machine rooms and other non-production areas. Unfortunately, this limited approach often misses many machine safety risks and compliance gaps and may be a source of a future injury, inspection, or compliance finding

We can ensure your facility considers all areas where mechanical equipment and machine safety hazards may be present when undertaking your machine safety upgrade project."

Machine Guarding Information

Pump Shaft Guards

UP-4

Pumps are powerful and fast-moving, potentially dangerous if an operator or other personnel accidentally comes into contact with them. The guard helps prevent such accidents by creating a physical barrier between the pump and any nearby individuals, eliminating hazards.

Equipment enclosures safeguard equipment for machine safety, compliance, and environmental reasons. However, equipment enclosures also serve other purposes, such as improving the quality of the product by ensuring the equipment remains untouched by contaminants or external factors affecting its performance or lifespan. MPSA has many years of expertise working with unique processes and creating custom solutions for all safeguarding needs.

High-Impact Guard Rails
