View MoreFerndale Safety is a designer, manufacturer, engineer and distributor of machine safety solutions. Its machine safety products notably include Vertical Turret Lathe (VTL) guarding and electronic brakes for single-phase motors.
The Ferndale Safety engineering team worked hard designing the next-generation VTL and Vertical Boring Mill (VBM) guarding solutions over the last two years. The Ferndale VTL guard features modularity and easy assembly with a typical installation time of 2 hours while offering protection against entanglement hazards, thrown chips and coolant splashing, according to the company.
Ferndale Safety also highlights its new MakeSafe product line of single-phase motor brakes. In short, these brakes install in seconds and provide almost instantaneous stopping on machines such as bench grinders and band saws, according to the company.
A proactive approach to safety guarding prevents injuries, accidents and many hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost productivity, fines and downtime. Ferndale Safety stresses if more management-level personnel knew how easy it is to make machinery safer to use with off-the-shelf safety guarding, many worksite accidents and financial loss could be prevented in the first place. For example, Ferndale cites a company in Florida that was fined almost $400,000 by OSHA for lack of machine guarding.
