Keeping you safe
April 23, 2010
During these times of uncertainty for sub contract engineers the need for flexibility and the ability to step outside your comfort zone, whilst looking to develop new business is paramount.
Gone are the days when Fife Engineering only did rubber covered and steel rollers it has had to look to other business sectors and understand their requirements to still be thriving during these trying times.
One area we have had success in is the manufacture and installation of safety guarding on production lines. Understanding the varied requirements of our customers we have been able to fabricate guarding which comprises of the physical steel mesh guard complete with gates fitted with dead locks and safety cut off devices all interlinked and fitted to our customers instructions.
Fife Engineering recently completed a full machine guarded system which is over 13 meters long 6 meters wide and 2 meters high. The system had to be flexible, allowing the workforce segmented access to the machine whilst still in production and yet still providing a safe working environment.It had to be robust enough to handle the occasional knock from 15 ton coils of steel.
Our solution provided a bespoke system which fulfilled the customers requirements for safety and flexibility and was installed with the minimum disruption to his production schedule ,so much so that we are currently working on a second project and will finish installation the early part of this year.
