Useful Plastic Safety Products for Mines

Ensure Full Safety in the Mining Industry

The mining industry is one that requires special consideration and selection of safety products. The risk in this field is high for workers so every precaution should be taken where possible.

That’s where we, Venture Plastics Distributors, come in. For more than ten years now, we’ve been manufacturing and distributing plastic safety products for mines. In this blog, we put a spotlight on these products and guide you on what to invest in when choosing safety products for mines.

Choose the Right Mining Safety Products

There are different plastic tools that ensure protection on mining sites.

Venture Plastic Distributors manufactures safety products for mines with the highest standards and quality. Here’s a list of our robust and reliable plastic products that you can choose from. For large repeat orders, we can also explore creating personalised products for your site.

Safety Cones

Marking an area with safety cones is a quick and simple process. Their lightweight and portability make them a versatile way to temporarily divide spaces.

A lot goes on in mining sites, and accidents can occur anywhere. When working in a busy environment, safety cones are a helpful and easy demarcation method.

We recommend that you use our 1,8m high cones to define danger areas. Adding class 4 prismatic reflective stickers to the cones will also greatly increase visibility.

Plastic cones are vital plastic safety products for mines as they come in four colours that can perfectly indicate different safety protocols.

Stop Blocks

Investing in stop blocks, or wheel chocks, are a smart choice when taking measures to increase safety in mines. These wedges are made from strong materials such as rubber or polyurethane.

They prevent vehicles’ wheels from any accidental movements and keep the vehicles secure in unplanned events like breaks failing.

Because they come in different sizes it’s important to choose the right stop block for the specific vehicles and applications.

Cable Bridges

Cable bridges are a must-have tool for open cast mines. These are used as a safety product that allows different kinds of vehicles to safely cross over running power cables or pipes. While keeping drivers safe, they also prevent damage to items being driven over.

Your choice of cable bridge should be determined by what vehicle is in use. For a bakkie that regularly travels to different parts of the mine, we suggest a portable option.

Our Venture Plastics Distributors’ Bakkie Cable Bridges are a perfect choice here. They are lightweight and can easily be picked up, placed over cables, be driven over, then picked up and stored away again.

For areas where larger trucks and machinery operate, we suggest the semi-permanent option of our larger single or double cable bridges. Our single cable bridge can carry vehicles weighing 100+ tons, and our double cable bridges carry 350+ tons.

Solar Road Studs

Light, easy to store and quick to move from section to section, solar road studs are great for demarcating areas or guiding movement in the dark.

These benefits make these items perfect for mines where movement and designated/marked areas are constantly changing.

Our Venture Plastics Distributor Solar Road Studs comprise of high-impact ABS plastic and premium reflective tape. Ensuring extra visibility and durability.
