Ensuring a safe working environment is not just about complying with regulations, it's about protecting your people, your equipment and your business. This article provides an overview of the benefits of our impact protection systems and how they help to increase safety in your workplace.
Workplace Safety and Traffic Segregation
Workplace safety strategies include a variety of measures designed to prevent accidents and reduce their impact if they occur. Among these measures include segregating people from moving traffic both inside and outside facilities.
Forklift accidents can have profound consequences ranging from injuries to fatalities leading to reputational damage, and legal and financial repercussions. Executing a robust workplace safety strategy that is supported by adequate risk assessments using the Fine & Kinney Method, Fishbone diagram or similar is highly recommended to ensure a safe working environment.
Polybar's Impact Protection Systems
The Polybar range of protective barriers and guardrail systems helps to shield people and structures from the everyday risks in busy warehouses and temperature-controlled environments. Each product has been tested (learn more about our testing) to deliver superior impact resistance if hit with moving machinery, such as forklift trucks, manufactured from their unique flexible P-FLEX technology or a rigid high-density polymer positioned around a single steel threaded rod anchoring system.
Our Impact Protection Range
Bollards for the protection of walls, doors and corners;
Door perimeter goalposts for the protection of internal and external doors;
Plinths for protection at the base of building walls, corners and columns;
Handrails for the protection of people in areas where forklifts and other mobile machinery are active;
Guardrails to protect walls, walkways, racking and other objects/areas at varying heights;
Kerbs to protect internal areas and mark walkways.
Column protection to protect structural columns in industrial facilities.
Easy to Install and Easy to Maintain
The simple, one-point anchoring system used on the products is designed to absorb impact while minimising floor damage and costly repairs. All the products are chemical resistant and withstand intensive cleaning, making them a low-maintenance and hygienic option for the agricultural and food processing industries.
As the polymer is self-coloured and not painted they are less susceptible to scraps and scratches. Polybar's products are UV-resistant, require minimal maintenance and do not have any exposed steel or risk of exposed corrosion over time. They also contain up to 40% recycled content and are 100% recyclable.
Coupled with expert on-site segregation strategy surveys to identify high-risk zones and suitable products, Polybar's impact protection systems and solutions are becoming the first choice for many international end clients seeking to raise the bar on their safety strategy.
