2. Take a Major Step
to Safer Pedestrian Segregation
with A-SAFE
Pedestrian safety is vital in busy manufacturing and warehouse environments, as the close proximity
of people and vehicles can all too often lead to accidents. Most of these accidents occur in
situations where people simply wander from defined areas into the path of oncoming vehicles,
rather than vice versa.
A-Safe Barriers are the perfect solution to this problem, providing a durable barrier
system made from a polymer-based material to physically prevent pedestrians
straying from designated areas in a way that painted white lines simply
cannot do. A-Safe Barriers represent a vital long-term
investment by contributing to that most valuable of all
commodities – staff safety. Benefits
