Uniguard recently participated in an impactful vendor expo at International Paper’s Papermill in Cantonment, FL. This event brought together key stakeholders from various departments, including Safety, Capital Projects, Mechanical Engineering, Maintenance, and Planning teams. Each of these professionals is deeply invested in enhancing the safety standards and operational efficiency within the mill—and machine guarding was a major focus of the day’s discussions.
Promoting Safety with Compliance in Focus
International Paper (IP) is committed to reducing workplace injuries, especially those related to machinery and equipment, by striving for the highest safety standards. With Uniguard’s expertise in OSHA-compliant machine guarding, we were thrilled to contribute to IP’s ongoing efforts to create a safer workplace. Machine guarding plays a critical role in protecting employees from hazardous areas, especially in high-risk environments like a papermill where equipment can present serious risks.
Connecting with Industry Leaders
The expo provided a unique opportunity for Uniguard to engage with IP’s top professionals, who are continually working on projects aimed at improving safety, minimizing downtime, and optimizing machinery performance. Our discussions with IP’s Safety and Maintenance teams were particularly valuable, as these departments play a frontline role in identifying and implementing solutions to mitigate risks associated with machinery.
Building a Safer Future Together
