The ease of installing our new universal safety gates saved us time and money. The ease of installing our new universal safety gates saved us time and money. Time is essential when dealing with safety. The universal safety gate swings in both directions, and it can be mounted easily to almost anything. I really appreciate that we can inventory one gate for all services at our facility. I have had only positive feedback from refinery personnel about the gates and if I had to pick a negative it would have to be that I didn't know about the gates as soon as they came out.
