SAFER G is the award-winning, sensor-activated rotary rig guard system that keeps crews safe and drilling productive.

When your rotary rig is stopped, waiting on a malfunctioning physical guard to be fixed, you’re losing metres, time and margin. SAFER G resolves that by replacing clunky physical guards with sensor-activated intelligence that detects human entry, while ignoring dust, cuttings and flush. You get continuous drilling, fewer interruptions, demonstrable compliance and a safer site that delivers results - not just reports.

  • Improves rig productivity - no more stopping and starting opening gates.
  • Improves personnel protection - compliant with all legislation and impossible to bypass.
  • Complies with EN 16228 Parts 1 and 2.
  • Universal fit = lower inventory & maintenance costs - one system fits all rig types.
  • Carries FULL CE marking as a safety device.
  • Stop accidents before they cost you thousands - injuries, insurance, shutdowns.

Simpler. Safer. Faster. Smarter. Greener.

How SAFER G can help you.

Everyone on site knows the physical guard on a rotary drilling rig is a pain in the arse. Open it, close it, wait. Every time someone changes a rod, adds casing or removes a sample barrel, it’s another dance between the drill crew and the steel. It slows down the job, frustrates everyone on site, and often gets bypassed when people are in a rush.

SAFER G cuts all that out. No gate. No stop‑start faff. No bypassing safety-critical guarding. Just smart, sensor‑based safety that doesn’t get in the way.

Built in the UK, CE‑marked and award‑winning, it’s the only guard designed from the ground‑up for rig crews who want fewer injuries, less downtime, and every minute drilling counts.

Technical Details and Information.

  • Fully sensor‑based zone (0.5 m to 1.8 m) - so people, not cuttings, flush or dust, trigger it. Meaning fewer false stops = more drilling.
  • Self‑checking diagnostics & “failure‑to‑safe” mechanism built‑in - your system never sleeps on the job.
  • Easily retrofit into any rotary rig type - fewer customisations, faster ROI.
  • CE marked, EN 16228 Parts 1 & 2 compliant - meets the highest regulatory bars and backs that claim.
  • Award‑winning (Ground Engineering Awards - Technical Innovation 2018) - someone independent vetted this. Credibility you can hang your hat on.
