Barrier campaign
October 1st 2009 Safety barrier manufacturer, A Safe
is encouraging the HSE to legislate to
increase safety standards for
pedestrian and vehicle segregation
across the manufacturing industry.
Currently, the law states that road
and pedestrian walkways should be
demarcated, but this can be
interpreted widely from physical
barrier systems to a simple line
painted on the factory floor. HSE
figures show that over the past two
years there have been 3,827 major
injuries to workers as a result of
workplace transport accidents, with
117 workers fatally injured over the
past two years as a result.
A Safe suggests a tough pedestrian
and vehicle barrier system such as
the ones it supplies is far superior to
a painted line. A-Safe's patented and
highly visible plastic systems are tough,
durable and can withstand impacts
