Commitment to Safety
Ensuring operator safety in the testing industry requires a comprehensive approach to risk elimination. We incorporate a range of safety features into our product designs to eliminate any risks during operation. Our commitment to safety ensures that all potential hazards are addressed, providing peace of mind for users.
Light Barriers
Light barriers are critical safety mechanisms that detect the presence of foreign bodies in dangerous areas, preventing the fixture from operating if an obstruction is detected. This ensures that operators are protected from accidental injuries. Light barriers are sensors that create invisible beams to detect disruptions in a specified area.
Pressure Finger Trap Sensors
Pressure finger trap sensors are sophisticated devices designed to detect any foreign bodies before a mechanism clamps onto them. This feature is crucial in preventing injuries caused by unexpected movements of the fixture, particularly in high-pressure testing environments. Pressure finger trap sensors act as a safeguard against potential workplace accidents.
Aluma lift handles are utilised for secure carrying of the unit. We also use transit lock safety features to secure the fixture and keep it in place during transit.
Warning stickers are employed throughout the design to help identify potential dangers, including stickers depicting fixture weight. Safety stickers serve as visual alerts to caution users about specific risks.
Finger Trap Assessments
Forwessun conducts thorough finger trap assessments to ensure there are no pinch points or cutting edges on any actuating parts of our products. This proactive approach helps to eliminate potential hazards, further ensuring operator safety. Finger trap assessments are evaluations that focus on identifying and mitigating risks related to moving parts.
RSI Assessments
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) assessments form a critical component of our safety protocols. We design our test fixtures with ergonomic considerations to minimise the risk of RSI for operators who perform repetitive tasks. Our ergonomic designs aim to make the use of our fixtures as easy and efficient as possible, reducing the likelihood of long-term injury. RSI refers to injuries resulting from repetitive motion or overuse.
In Summary
Forwessun prioritises operator safety by integrating a range of protective features into our test fixtures, including light barriers, pressure sensors, and ergonomic designs. These measures ensure a safe and user-friendly testing environment.
