WHY SHOULD YOU INSTALL OUR PVC PEDESTRIAN BARRIERS?
In this article, we will explain how to make the working environment safe and how to prevent accidents between operating machines and workers. Firstly, we will clarify the primary function of pedestrian barriers. Moreover, we will give you an idea of the main areas of application of industrial protection. Finally, you will clearly understand why to install pedestrian barriers in your building as well as the main function of a pedestrian barrier.
WHAT IS THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF A PEDESTRIAN BARRIER?
The primary function of a pedestrian barrier is to separate the walkway of workers from the forklifts so that the fence can protect workers from accidents. Do those accidents happen to workers frequently? Yes, they do.
STATISTIC OF THE ON-SITE ACCIDENTS IN THE UK
In the UK only, the Health and Safety Executive studies show that the impacts of forklifts kill 50 people each year and produce more than 5000 injured. So, the accidents between operating machines and workers have a substantial social cost. But those accidents also carry a massive company cost: building foreclosures, ceasing production, inspections, and an increase in the insurance premium.
WHY SHOULD YOU IMMEDIATELY INSTALL PEDESTRIAN BARRIERS IN YOUR WAREHOUSE?
To prevent accidents, save human lives, and save your money a lot of trouble.

But what happens when a forklift hits a pedestrian barrier?
Our industrial protection and safety line features flexible and impact-resistant PVC. When a forklift hits our pedestrian barriers, they bend to absorb the force of the impact. While turning to absorb the result, they guarantee you double protection. They protect your personnel from injuries, and they protect the floor of the building too. What does it mean to protect the floor? When our PVC protection bends to absorb the force of the impact, it also avoids transferring that force to the floor and breaking it. Bottom line: by installing our PVC flexible protection, you make a double saving of human life and health and your company assets.
