In today’s times companies have started using UAV’s to keep a real time check on safety procedures. The monetary objective is...it reduces the workers compensation by almost one third. The long term objective is improvement in workers morale resulting in better productivity and overall creating a safe environment.

A safety officer investigates incidents to prevent recurrence and ensures continuity of production. At times piping accidents have happened because the workers had inadequate knowledge about safety procedures and equipment’s. Safety gears can be divided in two categories the first being used by the worker himself like protective suits, helmets, glasses, safety shoes, appropriate hand gloves, gas masks and the second category being safety devices used on the work equipment like machine guards, Alarms, fire extinguishers and Flange guards. 

A safety officer should be well versed with these products So that workers can be educated and trained on field for the upcoming challenges. Industrial environment is always challenging because of large number of equipment’s and manpower working in sync to ensure continuity of production. Any miss could be catastrophic and will lead to injury, death or damage of the industrial equipment.

We have seen with our experience that a major number of accidents have been avoided by the use of flange or valve guards. These safety shields ensure safety of your workers by containing any hazardous fluid spillage on the manpower and equipment. So when your coworker is working near pipelines, the fear of an accident because of hazardous fluid spillage will never be in the back of his mind. This ensures faster resolution of downtime and increases productivity.

We provide most of the flange shields with Double locking so that even a fastening system failure can be contained and safety will not be a concern while working on flanges and valves. For areas where you workers difficulty to access we have designed transparent flange guards which helps you in discovering leaks from distance. All our shields are manufactured with three important factors Safety, Affordability and Easy installation. These Flange guards take less than 60 seconds to install and a completely reusable.

What is the most commonly used material for nuts and bolts?

Be it construction or any other major industry the role of nuts and bolts and other types of fasteners are critical. Thus they determine the overall strength and structure of the largest structures.  So in case you happen to have your business in the manufacturing or construction sector we are sure that you would be interested to know what the commonly used materials for nuts and bolts are. So let us understand the different types of materials used. The different types of fastener materials used Fasteners are made with   a wide variety of  of material s . These include everything from common steel to titanium, plastic and other exotic materials. Some of these materials are again separated into different grades. This is done to describe specific alloy mixtures, hardening as well as processes involved.  Apart from this some nuts and bolts are available with a variety of coatings or platings.   This is done to increase the resistance against corrosion or alter the appearan

Properties of HSFG Bolts

Bolts are extensively used as a fastener. They serve various purposes and there may be various types of bolts. We at  Indiana Steel  being in the steel business since long and are involved in the manufacture and supply of various kinds of fasteners includes bolts. Of the various types of bolts which are in use the HSFG bolts are widely used. These are on account of the properties they have. In this blog we will explain to you what they are and their properties and benefits of using them.   HSFG bolts what they are? How they are made? High Strength Friction Grip Bolts are popularly known are HSFG bolts. They are made from bars of medium carbon steel. These bolts have great strength. Their high strength is built through the process of quenching and tempering.  This process is also known as alloying steel. Steel washers of hard steel or carburized steel are provided to evenly distribute the clamping pressure on the bolted member and to prevent the threaded portion of t

Material Types For Flange Guard

Safety is one of the key requirements for many industries like chemicals and petrochemicals which require the transportation of hazardous chemicals. These can expose the working personnel and the equipment at the plant to considerable risks.
