Industrial machine safety compliance

Compliance

When you need complete confidence in the safety of your machinery and electrical products, call SAGE.

Too often we come across businesses that don’t comply with Australian safety standards, putting employees and assets at risk.

As an accredited business, our safety-certified engineers have the expertise to conduct a full audit of your plant and provide a report listing what’s  required to achieve full compliance. Our expertise is so trusted that we are regularly employed by State SafeWorks departments to perform assessments on machinery.

Our service includes:

  • Stop Time Testing of electro-sensitive protective equipment, such as light curtains, safety mats or laser scanners
Business continuity: SAGE identifies and prevents potential crises before they happen

What we provide
