Why Safety Barriers Are Essential

Safety barriers are a must-have in environments where pedestrians and vehicles coexist. They help define clear boundaries, prevent accidental collisions, and protect workers from machinery. Whether used in warehouses, car parks, or manufacturing facilities, these barriers are a key investment in creating a safe and efficient workspace. 

 

 

Why Suspended Walkways Are Essential

Suspended walkways are invaluable in settings where workers need safe access to elevated areas. These walkways minimise risks associated with falls and ensure compliance with stringent safety regulations.

Common in construction, maintenance, and industrial facilities, they provide a secure way to access hard-to-reach areas.  Our fabrication expertise includes components like track frames and brackets for suspended systems. These products allow for precision and durability in essential health and safety equipment. 

Other Workplace Safety Essentials

While safety barriers and suspended walkways are crucial, they’re just a part of a broader range of health and safety products your business might need. Here are two more items every workplace should consider: 

Steel Metal brackets

Steel brackets are versatile components used to secure structures like walkways, barriers, and shelving units. Their strength and durability make them a staple in health and safety solutions. 

For our client Enable Access, we manufactured main axle brackets and various track frames as part of their stock order. We take pride in crafting bespoke items like this, to meet the custom fabrication needs of clients building a safer and more accessible society and industry, especially in meeting specific safety requirements. 

Sheet Metal Ramps

Sheet metal ramps are so important for creating accessible environments, whether for staff, customers, or logistics operations. They provide safe and stable access to elevated surfaces or across uneven terrain. 

We’ve also delivered numerous ramps, fabricated in various sizes for varying different clients and need. These ramps are designed to withstand heavy use while maintaining a sleek and functional appearance. 

Where You’ll Find These Products in Action

The products we fabricate are used in diverse environments, including: 

• Warehouses: To separate pedestrian walkways from forklift paths with safety barriers. 

• Construction Sites: For secure access to elevated workspaces with suspended walkways and ramps. 

• Retail and Commercial Premises: To ensure accessibility with custom ramps and brackets.

Meeting Health and Safety Regulations

UK businesses must comply with strict health and safety regulations, including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. Installing products like safety barriers, suspended walkways, and ramps ensures compliance while safeguarding employees and visitors.
