BW's Challenges
 
 

For many years pedestrians shared access routes along with FLT's. There was no segregation creating safe walkways for pedestrians through the factory.

Having introduced some metal barriers in previous years, the cost of replacement and damage to infrastructure was increasing.

The Solution:

Pedestrian Segregation from FLT's

Clarity developed a tailored 3D design solution for BW, proposing the integration of dedicated walkways throughout their factory to ensure safe pedestrian routes and efficient separation from forklift traffic.

By selecting the Polymer PVC Barrier system, several key benefits were achieved:

  • Impact-Resistant Flexible Barriers: These barriers provide robust protection against the constant movement of FLTs, minimising the risk of damage and enhancing safety.

  • Floor Preservation: Unlike traditional metal barriers, Polymer PVC barriers eliminate the damage previously caused to concrete floors, offering a more durable and sustainable solution.

  • High-Visibility Features: All handrails and gates are coated with a high-visibility finish, making them easily noticeable to operators and pedestrians alike, further reducing the risk of accidents.

  • Protection of People and Assets: The barrier system safeguards both personnel and valuable factory equipment, creating a safer work environment for all.

  • Vertical Barrier Face: The design includes a vertical barrier face, preventing FLT forks from riding over or under the barriers, ensuring consistent pedestrian segregation.
