According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), nearly 18,000 metal fabrication workers suffer non-fatal injuries annually in the United States. Even with strict machine and operator safety regulations in place, unguarded hazardous machinery remains a major source of fatalities, amputations and other traumatic injuries in manufacturing plants. Rockford Systems estimates at least 50 percent of metal fabricating machinery does not comply with the critical safety requirements for guarding outlined by OSHA and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Since 1971, the Fortune 500 and many of North America’s largest manufacturers have depended upon Rockford Systems for turnkey machine safeguarding solutions to bring their organizations into 100% compliance with today’s OSHA regulations and ANSI machine safeguarding standards, and to ensure they are prepared for what challenges may lay ahead for tomorrow.

At Rockford Systems, we are experts at machine guarding because it has been our sole focus for over 45 years. We stand committed to the prevention of injuries and fatalities. Our mission is to enhance the long-term health and quality of life of workers in high-risk occupations, while improving the bottom line of the organizations we serve by increasing compliance, reducing risk, lowering costs and improving productivity.
