Purchasing Resources for Industrial Safety Gates

Industrial Safety Gates

Commercial safety gates keep your employees safe
By Melissa Haveman In order to meet OSHA requirements, your business may need to install industrial safety gates to protect employees from dangerous machinery and falls from elevated areas. Industrial security gates are common on docks, mezzanines and ladderways.

1. Folding security gates can be stored out of the way when not needed for safety.

2. An industrial safety gate can make staircases and ladders more safe and secure for your employees.

3. Dock door safety gates protect your equipment and employees from accidental falls.

Commercial safety gates make your business and your employees safer. Complying with OSHA regulations by using industrial security gates is easier than ever to do.

Assess where to place commercial safety gates

Use industrial safety gates for places where employees could potentially fall or need extra protection from equipment. OSHA regulations can help guide you to potential hazards, but you can also place folding security gates in areas that you feel pose additional concerns.
Try:  A-Mezz has a number of different types of safety gates for potential hazard spots at your business site.

Consider the type of industrial safety gate for the space

In some areas, you'll want gates that can be easily moved or folded down flat. Consider whether the area to be included in the safety gate is visible from the outside and what the area is mostly commonly used for. Choose a gate that works for the space.
Try:  The Safety Rail 2000 from BlueWater can be customized in a number of ways to suit your needs.

Use folding or portable indoor and outdoor safety gates for doorways and hallways

In some cases, you may want to obstruct particular areas, rooms or driveways. Folding or portable gates allow you to keep people out when you need to and allow access at other times.
Try:  Blockader Gates provide you with a number of options in folding and portable scissor gates. Use them in doorways, hallways and other areas.

• Industrial safety gate providers typically use a bright yellow color on safety gates. In some cases, you may be able to choose a different color or paint the safety gate later. Keep in mind that the yellow color makes the safety gate more visible.
