PSC Hands-Free Safety — Mining Hand Safety Solutions, South Africa
Mining Hand Safety · South Africa

Keep hands out of the hazard zone.

Engineered Push/Pull Tools, Safety Taglines and Tagline Retrievers that let maintenance teams position, guide and control equipment — without placing hands near moving machinery or suspended loads.

EXCLUSION · CONTROL · SAFE ZONE
Guided from a distance — not by hand
Why It Matters

Hands are the most exposed part of every shift.

Conveyors, crushers, pumps and suspended loads all require workers to guide and position equipment at close range. PSC replaces manual contact with engineered distance.

01

Continuous Production

South African mines run around the clock, depending on conveyors, crushers, pumps and motors that require constant hands-on maintenance.

02

Manual Contact Risk

Guiding suspended loads or aligning components by hand puts fingers directly inside pinch points and caught-between zones.

03

Engineering Over PPE

Leading operations are shifting from managing consequences to eliminating exposure at the source — before an incident can occur.

Common Exposure

Where hand injuries happen

Every one of these routine tasks is an opportunity to remove hands from the danger zone.

  • Pinch points between moving equipment
  • Suspended loads during crane operations
  • Conveyor belt & crusher maintenance
  • Rotating and mechanical machinery
  • Heavy component installation & alignment
  • Underground equipment servicing
  • Pipe installation and rigging activities
  • Material handling in confined workspaces
Our Solutions

Three tools. One objective — distance.

Purpose-built to complement existing maintenance and lifting procedures, not replace them.

Positioning & Guiding

Push/Pull Tools

Position, align and guide conveyor rollers, crusher liners, pumps and structural steel from a safer working distance.

  • — Conveyor roller positioning
  • — Crusher component alignment
  • — Underground equipment handling

Load Control

Safety Taglines

Guide and stabilise suspended loads during crane and lifting operations while workers stay outside the load path.

  • — Pump & motor installation
  • — Structural steel erection
  • — Crusher assembly lifts

Safe Recovery

Tagline Retrievers

Recover lifting taglines after operations without walking beneath suspended equipment or entering exclusion zones.

  • — Post-lift tagline recovery
  • — Exclusion zone compliance
  • — Faster lift turnaround

Where They're Used

Built for every stage of the maintenance cycle

From daily servicing to full plant shutdowns, PSC tools slot into procedures already in place.

Conveyor Maintenance

Roller replacement, belt tracking, pulley servicing and structural repairs — positioned without hands near moving belts.

Crusher Maintenance

Liner replacement, wear plate installation and heavy component alignment in restricted, pinch-point-heavy workspaces.

Suspended Load Handling

Motors, gearboxes, pipework and structural steel guided into place while crews remain outside the line of fire.

Underground Mining

Pump installation, pipe handling and mechanical repairs in confined, low-visibility underground workspaces.

Plant Shutdowns

Large, simultaneous maintenance teams working across crushers, conveyors and processing equipment under time pressure.

Rigging & Lifting

Crane-assisted lifts and tagline management supporting safer, more controlled rigging operations.

Industries Served

Across every commodity, mining hand safety is universal

PSC solutions apply wherever heavy equipment, conveyors and suspended loads are part of daily maintenance.

Why PSC

Value that extends beyond injury prevention

01

Better Worker Protection

Reduced hand exposure during maintenance, lifting, positioning and material handling.

02

Improved Equipment Control

Purpose-designed tools deliver greater precision when guiding heavy or suspended equipment.

03

Higher Maintenance Efficiency

Teams complete positioning tasks faster, with less manual interaction and rework.

04

Safer Shutdowns

Compressed shutdown schedules run smoother when multiple crews work with reduced exposure.

05

Operational Reliability

Safer practices contribute to more consistent execution and fewer disruptions.

06

Stronger Safety Culture

Engineering controls reinforce prevention-first thinking across every maintenance team.

FAQ

Common questions

Engineered solutions that help workers position, guide, lift and handle equipment while reducing direct hand exposure to hazardous machinery and work zones.

They let maintenance personnel guide, position and align equipment during servicing, reducing the need to place hands near moving machinery or pinch points.

They improve control of suspended loads while keeping workers outside the hazardous load path during crane and lifting activity.

It allows lifting crews to safely recover taglines after a lift without approaching suspended loads or entering exclusion zones.

Yes — Push/Pull Tools, Safety Taglines and Tagline Retrievers all support maintenance and lifting activity common to underground environments.

Yes — they support planned shutdowns by helping teams position equipment, control suspended loads and improve efficiency during major overhauls.
