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.
Why Impact Testing Matters
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:
- Guards may fail when struck by tools, debris, or equipment.
- You risk non-compliance with safety standards like OSHA, MSHA, CSA, or ISO.
- Your team’s safety is left to assumption, not evidence.
Belt Conveyor Guarding (BCG) has released a new series of safety videos showcasing how our guarding solutions perform in real-time impact tests aligned with ISO standards. These videos aren’t simulations—they're real tests, on real guards, under high-impact energy. The results confirm what our clients in harsh environments already know: BCG solutions don’t just look strong—they are strong.
BCG Guarding: Proven by Testing, Not Just Words
BCG now offers visual proof that our guarding systems are built to last. Our test series evaluates guards made for flat and barrier configurations, from soft to ultra-durable models, under various impact energy levels. You’ll see:
- Deformation thresholds
- Structural resilience
- Differences between guard types under the same test
This level of transparency is rare in our industry, and it sets a new benchmark for what "compliant guarding" should mean.
Don’t Wait for an Incident to Learn Your Guard’s Limits
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:
- Verified safety performance in demanding conditions
- Higher confidence in regulatory audits
- Reduced risk of injury, downtime, and reputational loss
And because BCG guards are also ergonomic and easy to maintain, you get the performance without compromising usability.
