Occupational Health and Safety in Australia is
becoming more and more a part of every day business.
Flex has carried out over $1,000,000.00 worth of
safety related work incorporating Australian Standards and local regulations
in conjunction with safety professionals.
The safety industry is fast evolving however we
are still in the education phase of the industry here in Australia.
Bare with us through the early stages, sometimes
it may sound like a broken record.
Small or large safety
is a job for experienced service providers. We have overcome the learning
curve with almost any safety job
Should you require any safety information please
call because we are compiling a database of easy to understand guidelines
about safety relevant to our industry.
This plant incorporated a mixture of mechanical
guarding and electronic controls to meet safety requirements.
These are the kinds of hazards that require attention according to the
Australian Standards.
While we were carrying out an installation
at this site a maintenance worker ran his hand between the chain and sprocket
and was off work for 6 weeks. He also sustained permanent damage.
In this installation the Pilz programmable controller
was used to protect a site of approximately 5000sq meters. The inputs
and outputs were interfaced on a single wire bus system eliminating the
need for heavy multi core cables.
This project was valued at approximately $100,000.00
and was finished months before the sister company of a similar size in
another state.
We are now able to program this type of safety
control system should the need arise.
