Safety Guarding 101

Discover how strategic, ergonomic guarding solutions reduce downtime and transform safety into measurable ROI for mining operations.

BCG’s “Proof of Performance” initiative shows why true industrial safety goes beyond compliance—using certified, real-world testing to ensure guards withstand real operational hazards.

For too long, safety has been treated as a cost. Belt Conveyor Guarding (BCG) is changing that narrative with data-backed, performance-tested guarding that transforms compliance into measurable ROI—reducing downtime, insurance costs, and maintenance inefficiency across heavy industries.

Despite Canada’s strong mining safety culture, guarding failures remain a leading cause of injuries and costly downtime. This article explores the root causes—like inconsistent designs, aging infrastructure, and maintenance pressures—and how custom-designed guarding from Belt Conveyor Guarding (BCG) helps mines achieve lasting safety, compliance, and productivity.
