How to keep safe in your work environment.

In 2023/24, 604,000 people were injured at work. This number is increasing each year. Therefore it is important to not only prevent these accidents but also have the correct items to help someone if an accident occurs.

Types of safety Barriers

We have a wide range of safety barriers to prevent any injuries in your environment.

safety barriers

Which barriers are best for you?

  • Warehouse barriers: These barriers can restrict access to dangerous areas, permanently or temporarily. They can be built for large or small areas, depending on what your area needs.
  • Expanding barriers: These barriers are ideal for highlighting risk, therefore preventing injury. These are ideal for temporary work sites to prevent unauthorised access.
  • Impact protection barriers: These work by separating routes in the warehouse to protect people from vehicles. They are high visibility to ensure pedestrians are kept safe.
  • Racking protectors: These protectors cover vulnerable areas of expensive pallet racking. When there is high traffic in an area, it is important to protect valuable stock.
  • Hoop barriers: Hoop barriers protect machinery. They provide a permanent obstacle from vehicle access.
  • Mobile barriers: If you have limited space or need a temporary solution, these are ideal for you. They are lightweight and can be made as big as needed. They can also be used for queue management when required.
  • Cleaning and maintenance barriers: These plastic barriers are ideal for separating an area that is undergoing a cleaning process. This can reduce slips and falls if the area is damp.
  • Safety bollards: These are ideal to allow pedestrian access, but limit forklifts and machinery. These keep people safe from large moving objects.
