Making automated production lines safer

According to the HSE, almost 700,000 workplace injuries occur every year in the UK.

This is estimated to cost employers a total of £3.17 billion. Unsurprisingly the manufacturing industry suffers from one of the highest accident rates, meaning that it bears the brunt of these costs. To avoid workplace injuries and costly insurance payouts, employers need to be aware of the latest technologies available to make the workplace safe.

Automated production lines bring huge benefits to manufacturers and machine protection doors can boost efficiency, safety and use of space. sara LBS offers high speed machine protection doors which are fully integrated within the production line to ensure machinery is completely isolated before commencing operation. This prevents personnel being harmed by sparks and welding spatter and enables machinery to be fitted closer together.
