What is Guarding Design?

Guarding design involves creating protective barriers and safety features to prevent workers from coming into contact with moving parts, hazardous areas, or dangerous machinery operations.

The design process follows BS, EN & ISO standards, ensuring that guards are complaint, durable, effective and easy to use. Designing the best solution means evaluating the type of machinery, the potential risks involved and the nature of the tasks being performed.

Guards can be physical barriers, interlocking systems, or electronic safety devices, designed to provide protection without compromising operational efficiency. A well-designed machinery guard must also allow for necessary maintenance and adjustments while preventing access to dangerous areas during operation.

Expertly designed machinery guarding not only complies with UK regulations but also fosters a culture of workplace safety and reduces the likelihood of accidents.

How Can We Help You?

Safety Systems Technology offers a comprehensive range of guarding design solutions, including both modular and bespoke options. Our designs are tailored to fit seamlessly into your operations, offering maximum safety without compromising productivity. We use the latest Autodesk Inventor 3D software to execute precise, compatible and optimal designs for your specific machinery and space.

Every single design we create will comply with EN/UK standards and is CE/UKCA marked, with a Declaration of Conformity provided for full regulatory compliance. We adopt a collaborative approach to guarding design, which involves design review meetings and 3D visualisations to ensure your requirements are met before fabrication begins. By gaining your valuable input, we can guarantee a solution that works for you and, most importantly, improves safety.
