Education

Sponmech Safety Systems supplies high-quality machine guards to schools, colleges, universities, and other educational institutions, helping create safer learning environments. We can segregate machinery away from students with our Accessafe fencing and we design and install machine guards that keep people safe. When it comes to safety, you can trust our 40+ years of machine safety expertise.

Why do education settings need machine guards?

Interlocked machine guards are required to protect operators from dangerous parts of machinery. Machinery guarding should always be installed, however, when young engineers are training or learning, it is even more vital that sufficient guarding is in place. You have a special duty of care for young people.
