Legislation encouraged
September 1st 2009 A Safe is encouraging the Health and
Safety Executive (HSE) to legislate
increased 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 3827
major injuries to workers as a result
of workplace transport accidents.
A Safe provides pedestrian and
vehicle barrier systems using its
patented, highly visible plastic
systems which are tough, durable
and can withstand impacts from
factory vehicles of up to 304kN – the
equivalent of a 3.5t vehicle travelling
at 10mph with a direct head on
impact into the barrier. More articles from A-Safe (UK) Ltd: |
