Machine Guarding Risk Assessments
What is a machine guarding risk assessment?
Machine guarding plays a vital role in protecting workers from harm and ensuring safe operation of equipment. Without effective guarding, workers are exposed to serious risks from moving parts, sharp edges, pinch points, and other hazards. Regular assessments help identify issues early, keeping your people safe and ensures that your business continues to meet safety requirements under New Zealand standards.
How we can help
We spend time on site looking closely at your machinery and how it’s used day to day. Our team checks the condition and effectiveness of existing guards, talks with operators, and identifies any areas that could be improved. We base our reviews on the AS/NZS 4024 Safety of Machinery Series and WorkSafe’s Safe Use of Machinery guidelines to make sure recommendations are practical and compliant.
