When an emergency stop doesn’t halt a hazard, the results can be catastrophic. This packaging equipment injury investigation by Alpine Engineering & Design reveals why robust machine safety design must look beyond basic controls to mitigate hidden, stored pneumatic energy.
Machine guarding should protect workers while allowing safe maintenance. Learn how guard design, lockout/tagout, and JSAs can reduce unsafe workarounds.
Walkway safety requires more than general awareness, it relies on measurable standards, codes, and engineering analysis. This article explains how slip resistance, trip hazards, and walkway conditions are evaluated in real-world applications.
Slip and fall cases require more than subjective opinions. A premises liability expert explains how tribometry, ASTM standards, and objective slip resistance testing are used to evaluate walkway safety and determine whether a property condition contributed to a fall.
Forklift accidents cause thousands of workplace injuries annually, but most are preventable. Drawing from 30 years of investigations nationwide, Alpine Engineering & Design’s forklift expert witness team reveals the key risk factors behind these incidents and engineering solutions that make workplaces safer.
Discover how engineering design analysis revealed critical safety failures in a dump trailer that led to a severe hand injury—and how proper design could have prevented it.
