Oasis Foods & A-SAFE

When Oasis Foods was considering costly infrastructure changes to segregate walkways and traffic routes, it turned to A-SAFE for a better solution.

Customer

Part of Creative Foods Europe, Oasis Foods is a leader within the expanding food service industry.

Situation

Oasis Foods was considering costly infrastructure changes within its warehouse to create clear segregation between forklift trucks and pedestrian walkways. It was also looking to protect its workforce from toppling hazards by designating a separate area for the storage of stacked bulk items. After visiting the A-SAFE stand at the Safety & Health Expo, the company had been impressed by both the quality and reputation of A-SAFE barriers. Therefore, when it was looking for a robust solution to its latest site safety requirements, it turned to A-SAFE for help and requested a site survey.

Solution

PAS 13 compliant barriers were specially selected to suit the needs of each area within the facility.  These included a high-level barrier to shield people and property from the dangers of toppling stacked bulk goods, as well as an enclosed walkway for pedestrians. Inward-opening swing gates were incorporated into the walkway barriers at crossing points to create a pause effect and encourage pedestrians to check for traffic before stepping out. Oasis Foods has since confirmed a significant reduction in near-accidents, as well as improved regulation of vehicle and pedestrian movements around its site.
