Machine Guarding for the Safety of Your Workforce

The most common industries that use plastic machine guards are equipment manufacturing and production environments. It's where you can find machines that can cause severe workplace injuries, which is why machine guards are crucial.

Because workplace injuries commonly happen due to moving machine parts, OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) sets standards regarding machine guarding. So it's not a preference anymore but a requirement that every facility must meet.

Fortunately, Emco Industrial Plastics offers polycarbonate machine guards plastic that can absorb high impact from a defective machine or broken tooling. In addition, these can assist in safeguarding a product from contamination during manufacturing.
