Belt Conveyor Guarding

In heavy industries like mining, steel, petrochemical, cement, and power generation, safety guarding isn’t just a compliance checkbox—it’s a frontline defense against workplace injury and costly downtime. Yet, many companies still install guarding systems without proof of real-world performance. That’s changing.
When evaluating safety guards, many companies rely on paper specs and regulatory checklists. But impact tests go a step further. They validate how a guard behaves under sudden, high-energy force—simulating the very types of events you hope to prevent. Without this kind of proof:
BCG offers guarding systems that are built to last. To prove durability, we tested a range of guard types—flat and barrier—under increasing levels of impact energy. Type of tests:
This level of transparency is rare in our industry, and it sets a new benchmark for what "compliant guarding" should mean.
Unproven guards may pass inspection today and fail tomorrow. Without real-world testing, it’s impossible to know how they’ll perform when it matters most. BCG’s impact-tested solutions ensure:
And because BCG guards are also ergonomic and easy to maintain, you get the performance without compromising usability.

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-engineered guarding from Belt Conveyor Guarding (BCG) helps mines achieve lasting safety, compliance, and productivity.
