Safety in workplaces is never a minor detail, especially when working in industrial or manufacturing environments. Every component, even the simplest one, can make a difference in risk prevention. In this scenario, protective grids are a fundamental solution for increasing safety levels and protecting those who work daily in contact with tanks and facilities.

Manholes installed on the top of the tanks are critical points during the following operations:

• opening
• inspection
• maintenance
• internal examination

During these phases, the risk of accidental falls is real and should not be underestimated. The use of protective grids significantly reduces this danger by creating a physical safety barrier. For this reason, the use of these devices is often needed and strongly recommended.

Their main function is to prevent people or large foreign objects from accidentally falling into the tank, helping to make the working environment safer and more controlled.
It is important to note that, by their very nature, grids do not prevent the passage of dust or small objects that could pass through the holes and reach the material contained in the storage area. For this reason, they must be considered an integral part of a broader security system.

Thanks to laser cutting processes conducted directly in our factory, our grids are designed and manufactured to measure and to fit our manholes perfectly. They are available for all standard diameters, including large ones such as 800, 1000, and 1200 mm, as well as for rectangular models and even for some manways.
They can be supplied loose, complete with mounting brackets, or already welded directly to the manhole cover, depending on the customer’s operational requirements.

We remind that protective grids are accessories designed to reduce and prevent risks in sensitive work environments. However, they cannot and must not replace the adoption of correct behavior, proper procedures, and constant attention on the part of operators while conducting their activities.

Safety at work is, in fact, the result of a combination of:

• appropriate technical equipment
• staff training
• compliance with procedures
• a culture of prevention

Investing in protection solutions means investing in the safety of people and the operational continuity of your company. Choosing tailor-made solutions manufactured with precision means increasing the level of safety and ensuring greater reliability for your systems.
