What does the term Bespoke Guarding refer to and why is it relevant to the work environment?

Our Bespoke Guarding, defined as a designed and manufactured safety guard to custom fit your specific machine, machines, or production lines, including factoring in production requirements for operators and accessibility for maintenance using t-slotted extrusion or steel with wire mesh and polycarbonate. 

"Bespoke guarding" refers to a custom-designed and manufactured safety enclosure for machinery, tailored specifically to the needs of a particular machine, its operation, and the access requirements of the operators, essentially creating a guarding solution that is uniquely fitted to the specific situation rather than using a generic guard; it often involves designing guards from materials like mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or polycarbonate, and can include features like soundproofing, ventilation ducts, and access points as needed. 

Key points about bespoke guarding:

  • Custom-made: unlike standard guarding options, bespoke guarding is designed and built to fit the exact dimensions and functionalities of a specific machine. 
  • Operator needs considered: the design takes into account the access points and working methods required by operators while still maintaining safety standards. 
  • Flexibility in materials: depending on the application, bespoke guarding can be made from various materials like metal, plastic, or a combination to suit the environment and required functionality. 
  • Advanced features: bespoke guarding can incorporate features like soundproofing panels, ventilation systems, or integrated safety interlocks to further enhance safety and usability.
