It’s no secret that workplace safety is critical, but compliance isn’t just about ticking boxes on a form. It’s about investing in safety systems that are engineered with your employees' well-being in mind. One of the simplest tools you can use to make compliance simple is key clamps.
Sometimes called tube clamps, they’re critical in creating safe and secure guardrails, handrails, barriers and other safety structures. They are designed to be easy to install, which makes for simple construction whilst ensuring you’re compliant with all the latest safety regulations.
Protecting your employees doesn’t have to be a difficult job. It can be made simple with this small but mighty piece of equipment.
What makes key clamps so special?
Key clamps are widely used across a range of industries, including construction, industrial and public sectors, but what makes them so special? Their versatility is one of the factors that has contributed to their extended popularity. They’re commonly used to connect tubing without using any welding or specialised tools, making them cost-effective for all industries.
They are able to be assembled quickly and by almost anyone, so they’re perfect if you’re looking to protect your employees without having to fork out any additional labour costs for set-up.
The benefits:
When it comes to key clamp systems, there’s a range of different benefits outside of their overall versatility. These are some of the factors that make key clamps so special – and so widely used!
- No welding necessary: Removing the need for welding doesn’t just save you money on specialised labour, it also reduces the risk of other safety hazards, like potential fires.
- They’re reusable: Key clamps can be used and reused multiple times, making them perfect for both permanent and temporary safety structures.
- Incredibly durable: Key clamps are often made from galvanised steel or GRP (glass-reinforced plastic), making them incredibly durable and able to withstand harsh environments.
What does engineered for compliance mean?
When we say key clamps are engineered for compliance, what we mean is that they are specifically designed to meet UK safety regulations. Whether it’s load requirements for railings and barriers or ergonomic designs that minimise sharp edges, key clamp systems are engineered with overall compliance in mind.
When you choose to use key clamps for your safety solutions, you know that you’re installing a system that is aligned with both the legal requirements and your industry's best practices.
Safety made simple
Key clamps make installing safety solutions simple by ensuring fast installation that reduces downtime, minimal maintenance and pre-engineered fittings that eliminate guesswork.
Instead of your team trying to manufacture and weld difficult and often time-consuming solutions, key clamps are easy to assemble, install and last for many years.
Key clamps are so much more than just your run-of-the-mill fittings, they’re a key component in ensuring safety and compliance. Their simplicity and their durability make creating reliable, cost-effective safety guardrails, handrails and barriers easy for your entire team.
