There are also specific folding chaperones like HSP60 which is basically a barrel which isolates a newly translated protein from the rest of the cell so that it can fold properly, and then pops open to release it!

There are chaperones that bind to the ribosome. Hsp60/70 are found in higher conc near ribosome too.
