What are the benefits of using safety barriers at your company?
Safety barriers are very useful for ensuring a better working environment. Whatever your industry, hazards are everywhere in your factories and warehouses. It is crucial to protect vehicles, people, and goods from collisions and accidents. As such, safety barriers have become a necessity for your business, especially for mitigating severe damage. In this article, you will learn about the various benefits of using safety barriers at your business as well as the specific models we offer.
How can our safety barriers ensure the safety and health of your employees?
There is no need to stress about the importance of good health and safety policies for employees at your company. That said, it is worth mentioning that reducing hazards and accidents must be part of these policies. You are responsible for taking the necessary measures to protect your employees from the various hazards present in your warehouse or factory. These measures can be as simple as requiring the use of high-visibility clothing, or they can be more complex.
In reality, what matters is updating and modernizing your safety policies with more sophisticated equipment. Safety barriers can ensure the safety and health of your workers. Safety barriers not only protect your business assets, they also protect your employees moving around on foot.
Safety barriers for protecting vehicles
Installing safety barriers in your workplace reduces damage to your vehicle fleet. This is also one of the main advantages of this safety solution. Safety barriers demarcate the traffic routes of vehicles. At the same time, safety barriers help to limit and mitigate collisions that might otherwise result in costly damage. Safety barriers ensure that your forklifts and trucks can move safely and smoothly through your warehouse.
Likewise, safety barriers also protect drivers from physical injury caused by a collision. Depending on the barrier used, the force of impact can be reduced significantly in order to limit the resulting damage. That said, you will need to use the right safety barrier to get the most out of it.
Protect your equipment and inventory by using the right safety barrier
How do I install safety barriers properly?
To do their job, the safety barriers at your workplace must be clearly visible. Make sure that your safety barriers are clearly visible within their specific environment. This means you should focus on bright, eye-catching colors for whichever model you use. This will make your safety barriers easy to see, even in the dark.
Using high-visibility safety barriers benefits everyone at your workplace. These barriers ensure a safe and secure work environment for your employees moving around on foot, your forklift drivers, and your safety officers. Safety barriers also help you mitigate collision damage and reduce potential repair and accident costs.
What kind of safety barrier should I invest in?
Boplan offers numerous types of safety barriers for use in your workplace depending on your requirements. Polymer barriers provide the same basic functionality of conventional barriers, but with an added benefit. These barriers can actually reduce the overall damage. Modular barriers are able to absorb the impact of a collision, preventing the force from being returned to the source. Modular barriers therefore provide a higher degree of protection in the event of a collision.
Alternatively, you can use polymer safety barriers, which also have many benefits. The polymer safety barriers offered by Boplan are robust, flexible, lightweight, and modular. Polymer safety barriers are particularly resistant to weathering and chemicals and thus incredibly stable. As an added benefit, polymer barriers are suitable for use in many industries.
Depending on your needs, Boplan offers many different types of safety barriers, such as:
- Protectors for small rolling stock with a low risk of impact
- Flexible protectors for minor impacts
- Wheel guides or wheel stops to demarcate traffic routes
- Barriers for pedestrian and vehicle zones
