Accident prevention: it pays to play safe
Whether driverless or not, vehicles pose a hidden accident risk as soon as they are in motion. Increasing levels of automation also elevate this risk. Modern safety technology provided by Mayser significantly lowers the risk of accidents and ensures compliance with the statutory personal protection regulations.
Occupational safety in industrial environments is multifaceted. Preventing accidents to persons takes top billing. These may have tragic human consequences and cause costly material damage. The fact that the legislator is weighing in heavily is also an indicator that occupational safety may not be being taken seriously enough. EN ISO 13894 and EN ISO 13856 are the governing standards.
Comprehensive safety expertise
Reason and prudent management dictates that a company should rely on professional and proven solutions when it comes to safety technology. Bachofen’s technology partner, Mayser, ranks among the leading suppliers in the tactile and non-touch safety and protection system sector. The company is well versed in safety-related issues in industry and produces a wide range of systems and products for the protection of people and material assets.
Effective impact protection with safety bumper
One of the applications of Mayser’s safety bumpers is collision protection in driverless transport systems (DTS). The active impact cushions are made of soft foam with a polyurethane skin and have a safety cut-out. In the event of an impact, the safety bumper protects individuals from injury and prevents objects from being damaged.
