Law should say walk this way
August 1st 2009 Safety barrier manufacturer A Safe is
encouraging the Health and Safety
Executive (HSE) to legislate
increased safety standards for
pedestrian and vehicle segregation
across the manufacturing industry.
Currently, the law states that road
and pedestrian walkways should be
demarcated, but this can be
interpreted from physical barrier
systems to a simple painted line. HSE
figures show that over the past two
years there have been 3,827 major
injuries to workers as a result of
workplace transport accidents, with
117 workers fatally injured.
A Safe provides high impact
coloured polymer pedestrian and
vehicle barrier systems which can
withstand impacts from factory
vehicles of up to 304KN (the
equivalent of a 3.5 tonne vehicle
travelling at 10mphwith a direct
head on impact into the barrier). More articles from A-Safe (UK) Ltd: |
