New ProGMA Video Series Promotes Safety through Protective Guarding
The Protective Guarding Manufacturers Association (ProGMA), a product group within trade association MHI, has launched the first in a series of educational videos about the importance of protective guarding products in the material handling industry. The short but informative video is titled, “Essential Safety Barriers for Automated / Robotic Workcells”.
This first ProGMA video is primarily targeting safety and facilities managers throughout the supply chain who might overlook, or otherwise be unsure of, the requirements around the specific storage space or material handling equipment in their facility.
“However, secondary to that, we hope the videos will also have a role to play in academia, as engineering and other students look to reinforce their learning and understanding about the bigger safety picture, and where protective guarding should be considered for use in the workplace,” added Eddie Murphy, a representative of ProGMA and president of member company Spaceguard Products Inc.
