are getting faster and faster and the safety requirements for personnel and machines are becoming ever more demanding. Here, DYNATECT makes a significant contribution with the years of experience of a leading company in industrial equipment protection. DYNATECT knows how to design and implement the right measures, which allow the combination of personnel and machines to operate sustainably, in exact accordance with the customer’s requirements.

DYNATECT protection systems

consist of components and system solutions for:

  • A smooth production process
  • High machine availability

When optimising machinery, all aspects of occupational safety should be taken into consideration right from the start.

To avoid the risk of accidents

In order to avoid the risk of accidents for the operating personnel, and to reliably protect personnel in production environments, we recommend repeatedly checking for new risk assessments in the workplace. All potential hazards must be eliminated in accordance with regulations, and systems must be retrofitted if necessary.

 

Other useful information

Especially with regards to the new Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) of 1st June 2015, we would like to point out that there is no protection of existing plants; for example, steel mills.
