At G-Tech Machine Safety Ltd, we believe that no one should be harmed while doing their job.
As specialists in machine guarding safety, our mission is to provide comprehensive, customised safeguarding solutions that not only protect personnel but also enhance operational efficiency.
With decades of combined experience and a deep understanding of safety standards and production demands, we work closely with businesses across industries to create safer workplaces, without compromising productivity.
Why Machine Guarding Safety Matters
Machine-related accidents remain one of the leading causes of workplace injuries and unprotected moving parts, unsafe access, and inadequate maintenance procedures all contribute to the risk.
Implementing effective machine guarding safety measures isn't just a legal requirement under PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations), it's a moral imperative.
Our solutions are designed to eliminate or significantly reduce these risks, giving employers peace of mind and workers the confidence to carry out their tasks safely.
Our Expertise in Machine Guarding
At G-Tech Safety, our dedicated team of engineers and safety professionals understand that no two facilities are alike. That’s why we provide a full suite of services; from risk assessments to design, installation, and ongoing support; tailored to the unique needs of your site.
We’re experts in applying BS EN ISO 13857 and ISO 14120 standards, ensuring compliance while delivering innovative guarding systems. Our approach is rooted in collaboration: we assess your operations, engage with your teams, and design practical solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing processes.
Bespoke Guarding Solutions
Rather than offering one-size-fits-all products, we pride ourselves on delivering bespoke guarding systems. Whether you operate CNC machinery, robotic arms, conveyors, or automated assembly lines, we can design guarding that addresses both safety and accessibility.
Our guards are fabricated to exact specifications and can include features such as interlocked doors, visibility panels, and integrated safety controls.
We also understand the importance of downtime in a production environment. That’s why our design philosophy considers maintenance and operation access from the start, enabling quicker servicing without compromising safety.
Risk Assessments & Safety Audits
Before we begin any guarding installation, we carry out detailed on-site risk assessments. These assessments identify potential hazards and provide a clear roadmap for compliance.
We evaluate existing equipment against the latest UK and EU regulations, and recommend appropriate remedial actions.
Our safety audits go a step further, providing a comprehensive review of your workplace safety procedures, equipment, and guarding systems. The result is a detailed report highlighting compliance gaps and practical steps for improvement. Whether you're preparing for an HSE inspection or simply want reassurance that your site is as safe as possible, our audits offer unmatched value.
PUWER Compliance Support
The PUWER regulations place a legal obligation on employers to ensure that machinery is suitable, maintained, and equipped with proper safeguards. Navigating these requirements can be complex, especially in facilities with legacy equipment.
We provide hands-on support to help you achieve PUWER compliance efficiently. From documentation to equipment upgrades and staff training, our team guides you through every stage of the process. We help you avoid costly penalties while fostering a safety-first culture within your organisation.
Retrofitting & Upgrades
Replacing equipment can be costly and unnecessary. That’s why many of our clients turn to us for retrofitting solutions. We specialise in upgrading older machinery with modern guarding features, extending the life of your investment while ensuring compliance and safety.
Our retrofitting services include the addition of fixed guards, interlocks, light curtains, and perimeter fencing. We also offer custom fabrication of guards to accommodate the unique geometry of legacy machines. All upgrades are tested and certified to meet current safety standards.
Training & Aftercare
Safety doesn’t stop once the guards are in place. To support ongoing compliance and safe operation, we offer training sessions for machine operators, maintenance personnel, and safety officers. These sessions cover everything from proper use of safety devices to inspection procedures and reporting protocols.
We also provide comprehensive aftercare services, including routine inspections, repairs, and updates. Our team is on hand to assist with any future modifications, ensuring your guarding systems continue to offer maximum protection.
