Machine guarding that keeps operators safe

Wherever there is moving machinery, automation or robotics, there is a risk of contact, entanglement or crushing. Machine guarding creates a physical barrier between people and danger, and is a key requirement of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER). Fastline supplies and installs robust mesh guarding, perimeter fencing and access systems that protect operators while keeping equipment accessible for maintenance.

Our modular guarding systems suit everything from a single conveyor or palletiser to a full robotic or AGV cell. We survey the equipment, design a layout that maintains safe distances and access, and install fencing, panels and gates that can be combined with interlocks and safety controls. The result is a compliant, well-engineered barrier that protects your people without slowing down your process.
