In recent times, we have become more conscious of health and safety in the workplace. Especially in factories and workplaces that use large pieces of equipment and machinery. A good place to start with safety is accessability for staff, in and around the workplace. Other improvements could include adequate hand railings, walkways and guardings that are compliant with Australian Standards.
The use of secured walkways, platforms and handrails can prevent injuries and fatalities by reducing the risk of human contact with plant and equipment. They also encourage the prevention of falls. WDIS can design, manufacture and install adequate access systems that ensure that an employer’s ‘duty of care’ obligation is complied with. This ensures the employees can go about their daily duties without compromising their safety. WDIS can also offer a regular repair, maintenance and inspection service to existing structures to ensure your business complies with Australian Standards.
There have been many accidents in the last few years that have involved machinery lacking the correct safety measures. Incidences such as these, have ended in major injuries and even fatalities in places like grain factories and wool presses. They have lacked adequate guarding on plant that has moving parts. To prevent these types of occurrences WorkSafe recommend that dangerous moving parts of plant have adequate guarding. We can manufacture and supply fixed, fitted or adjustable guards depending on your workplaces requirements.
WDIS.WA have been involved in many successful handrails, walkways, platforms and guarding projects over the last few years. These projects have increased the safety standards in many workplaces. If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact us today.
