OUR LATEST SAFETY CONTROLS MEET OSHA 1910 SECTION 217 REQUIREMENTS
Our two handed safety systems reduce risk.
Our two hand safety control systems are designed to be used in applications that require both the operators hands to be engaged in order for a pneumatic signal to be delivered to an automation system. This important safety feature ensures that Pneumatic signals are only generated only if both push buttons are activated. This reduces the risk of damage to the operator and give a maintained output signal when both buttons are pressed within .3 seconds and held.
Safety lock out valves protects employees.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions – Safety & Control Systems
What are pneumatic safety control systems?
Pneumatic safety systems prevent accidental or hazardous operation of compressed air–powered machinery. Air-Mite’s solutions include two-hand safety controls, lock-out valves, and safety foot guards designed for OSHA compliance.
How do two-hand safety controls work?
A two-hand control system requires both buttons to be pressed simultaneously (within 0.3 seconds). This ensures operators keep their hands clear of dangerous moving parts.
Why are lock-out valves important for OSHA compliance?
Pneumatic lock-out valves block and vent compressed air during maintenance. This meets OSHA 29 CFR 1910 (Control of Hazardous Energy) requirements, keeping workers safe while servicing equipment.
What does a safety foot guard do?
A safety foot guard prevents unintentional activation of a foot-operated pneumatic valve, reducing the risk of injury in high-traffic work areas.
Where are pneumatic safety systems used?
They are common in metal stamping presses, assembly lines, automated production systems, and maintenance operations that require OSHA lock-out/tag-out compliance.
Why choose Air-Mite for safety and control systems?
