There are three key safety measures that can increase your warehouse safety: warehouse protection barriers, racking protectors, and warehouse safety bollards.

1. Warehouse protection barriers

Warehouse barriers are often the first line of defence when it comes to warehouse safety. These robust structures serve many purposes, making them indispensable in warehouses and storage facilities.

Asset protection

One of the primary functions of warehouse safety barriers is to safeguard valuable assets within the facility. Modern warehouses use expensive machinery and high-value inventory. Accidental collisions with forklifts or other moving equipment can result in costly damage. A-SAFE barriers reduce the risk of such incidents and preserve your investments.

Employee safety

Ensuring the safety of warehouse personnel is a top priority. A-SAFE’s warehouse safety barriers play a crucial role in creating a clear separation between pedestrian walkways and vehicle routes. This significantly reduces the risk of accidents and fatal injuries, providing peace of mind for both employees and management.

Safety barriers used to segregate people and forklift trucks should include a handrail to eliminate trip hazards. A risk assessment should also be carried out to ensure that barriers are fit for purpose. Where heavier or faster vehicles operate heavy-duty barriers may be required.

Visibility

Having warehouse protection barriers in sight shows you are serious about warehouse safety, which can change your employees' behaviour. A-SAFE’s safety barriers are designed to be highly visible, preventing accidents by ensuring that vehicles and personnel have a clear understanding of where they should be operating.

2. Racking protectors

Racking systems serve as the foundation for storage and inventory management. Protecting these assets is essential to maintaining warehouse efficiency and reducing long-term costs.

Prevent collisions

Pallet racking protectors are designed to provide a buffer zone around racking systems. This buffer zone reduces the likelihood of damage caused by forklifts and other moving vehicles. By preventing collisions, racking protectors help extend the life of your racking systems, keeping them structurally sound and functional.

Long-term savings

Without proper protection, racks are susceptible to damage. This can lead to costly repairs or even the need for complete replacement. A-SAFE’s RackGuard offer a cost-effective solution that achieves ROI in just 18 months.

Continued efficiency

Unprotected racks are not only prone to damage but can also become unstable over time. This instability can lead to reduced storage capacity and operational inefficiencies. Racking protectors maintain the efficiency and reliability of your storage solutions, ensuring that your facility operates at peak performance.

By investing in racking protection, you not only protect your assets but also maximise your warehouse's efficiency. This efficiency can lead to increased productivity, shorter lead times, and better customer satisfaction, improving your facility's ROI.

You can also take preventative measures by installing A-SAFE’s real-time impact tracking system RackEye. RackEye detects impacts to your racking and alerts you automatically if attention is required, this means that you can see everything as it happens and take measures to reduce future impacts.

3. Warehouse safety bollards

Bollards serve a variety of purposes in enhancing warehouse safety. These unassuming structures are indispensable for maintaining a secure and well-organised warehouse environment.

Traffic control

Warehouse safety bollards help direct the flow of traffic within your facility. They ensure that vehicles and pedestrians stay in their designated areas, reducing the risk of accidents and collisions. By controlling traffic, bollards contribute to the overall safety and organisation of the warehouse.

Building protection

Your warehouse's structural elements, such as walls and columns, are valuable assets that require protection. Strategically placing safety bollards can safeguard these structures from accidental damage caused by moving equipment or vehicles.

Emergency response

In the event of an emergency, such as a fire or evacuation, warehouse safety bollards play a vital role in guiding employees to exits and assembly points. Their clear visibility and strategic placement ensure that everyone can navigate the facility quickly and safely during critical situations.

Implementing warehouse safety bollards is a proactive measure that not only prevents accidents and property damage but also enhances emergency preparedness. A well-prepared facility is more likely to mitigate potential risks, with fewer disruptions and a more reliable operation.

Warehouse safety barriers increasing ROI

Investing in health and safety in warehouses isn’t just about creating a safe working environment – it’s a smart business decision. Safety barriers boost warehouse health and safety and ROI by reducing maintenance costs, decreasing downtime, lowering your insurance premiums and enhancing productivity.

Safety barriers act as a defence against impacts, meaning that you won’t need to pay for costly repairs and maintenance costs. A-SAFE’s polymer barriers add an extra line of defence, being able to flex and return to their original position means that our barriers can take multiple impacts, further increasing ROI compared to steel and other polymer barriers.

Accidents and collisions lead to unplanned downtime. When these operations grind to a halt, it costs your business money. By installing warehouse protection barriers, you ensure that you’re keeping downtime to a minimum, boosting productivity and increasing ROI.
