Keeping workers safe should be a number one priority for any business. Your employees are trusting you with their safety. Preventable accidents cost companies billions of dollars every year. According to the 2017 Liberty Mutual Workplace Safety Index, falls to a lower level accounted for 9.2% of injuries and cost companies close to 5.5 billion dollars. These falls likely could have been prevented with mezzanine safety gates.
Employees, especially those in manufacturing, loading, unloading and material handling are at risk of preventable falls when they are on the job. OSHA and IBC have come up with a set of regulations to help prevent falls and keep workers safe.
Your Employees’ safety is your greatest responsibility
Companies are responsible for the safety of their crews and are tasked with installing appropriate safety measures. This means finding and installing the right safety gate before an accident happens. Employers should familiarize themselves with the OSHA requirements necessary to meet standards and protect their employees.
Fabenco Mezzanine Safety Gates
As a leader in the manufacturing of mezzanine safety gates, we at Fabenco have consistently been the one-stop shop for the best quality, American made safety products for businesses. We keep up to date on OSHA fall protection compliance so our customers don’t have too.
Fabenco produces two mezzanine safety gates for specific needs:
Mezzanine Pivot Safety Gates
The Mezzanine Pivot Safety Gates protect employees in elevated mezzanine loading areas by using a counterbalanced gate that ensures one gate is always between your employees and the edge of the platform. Available in single or double palette widths, our pivot gates are built with efficiency in mind, ship smart and can be assembled with basic tools. The pivot gate is available in carbon steel—either carbonized or powder coated in safety yellow. This gate meets or exceeds OSHA, IBC and ANSI standards and is a great option for maintaining the safety of your workers!
Mezzanine Clear Height Safety Gate
Not all situations are the same when it comes to safety and if you are dealing with the potential for tall loads, then your needs might be different. Our Clear Height Safety Gate protects employees in elevated mezzanine loading areas with no height restrictions to accommodate tall loads. Just like our pivot safety gates, the clear height gate uses counterbalanced gates to ensure that there is always one gate between your employees and the leading edge. This gate will allow loading and unloading of materials—including tall loads while continuing to keep you safe. This gate meets or exceeds OSHA, IBC, and ANSI standards and is available in galvanized or powder coated safety yellow carbon steel.
Fabenco is proud to have been providing fall protection to our customers for over 45 years. Our products are always easy to install and meet all the necessary OSHA, IBC and ANSI standards. If you don’t see mezzanine safety gates that meet your needs, Fabenco can develop a custom model to match your particular situation.
