Ensuring you have adequate guarding on your shop press is essential in protecting your staff. Unfortunately many shop presses that our safety advisors see during inspections either did not come equipped with a guard at the time of purchase or the guard was removed and not replaced.

Provincial OHS officers often write up our members for failure to provide adequate guarding. A solution that some of our members have utilized was guarding made by MailleTec Industries in Swift Current. To find out more about their custom shop press guards click here: MailleTec Guards
