Tailor Made Workplace Safety Solutions

Emtek's Aim Is To Help Reduce Deaths And Injuries In The Workplace

Approximately 50 people are killed each year and more than 5,000 injured by workplace vehicles*. Yes, accidents do happen and nobody ever sets out to cause an accident, but with careful planning and implementing the right solutions, workplace deaths and injuries can be significantly reduced. Emtek works alongside both large and small size Irish companies in helping them improve the safety of their staff within the workplace. We begin by helping identifying and understanding the key hazards, such as the speed and weight of fork lift trucks and workplace vehicles, the routes they use to navigate the facility and also the operational zones and movement flows of pedestrians in and around the site. From this base we review and strategise the best ways to carefully maintain productivity whilst catalysing safety advancements (*Source: BSI PAS13:2017).

The Introduction Of New Standards - What Do They Mean?

PAS 13 is the new code of practise published recently by BSI. It provides industry guidelines with the sole aim of helping to minimise the risk of potential accidents in the workplace, ensuring that the correct level of protection is used and crucially that it is fit for purpose. Emtek’s iFlex workplace safety products have been rigorously tested and exceed all the recommendations of PAS 13, giving unwavering confidence to our clients in Ireland when they engage with us. 

Proven Strength

Through years of product development, testing and research the robust iFlex products are physically crash and impact tested, exceeding the new industry requirements. The image below shows how the iFlex traffic barrier absorbs the heavy crash impact. As the vehicle rebounds away, the barrier reforms to its original position, removing the need to replace the barriers after a strike. The proven strength of this MEMAPLEX technology inbuilt to iFlex is working throughout workplaces all over Ireland, day in, day out. From bottling plants to food processing firms and across pharma plants, engineering factories and airports, Emtek have the experience and engineering skills to deliver for clients nationwide.

Seeing Is Believing

Our specialist workplace safety teams regularly conduct site survey’s for clients across multiple industry sectors, often bringing samples of iFlex product to the client to see it in the context of their environment. Emtek can advise on walkway segregation, gates, impact bollards, height restrictors, railings and barriers to best suit each application, so why not contact us today to arrange a site visit.

Have a great day and keep in touch if our team can assist further. Best Wishes.
