Machine safety: how to protect your employees

There is never enough security in place to protect your staff. To do this, multiple possibilities exist: the protection of an operating site collectively, individual equipment, but what about the machines? machine safety in the company?

These can be a source of danger for staff, lead to injuries, sick leave and therefore a decrease in productivity.

The protection of your employees involves securing your machines.

Various risks associated with machines include:
— Projections (debris, projectiles, sparks, droplets...)
— Emanations (smoke, heat...)
