Guard and hand rails commonly referred to as railings provide a significant structure which heightens awareness of walkways and pedestrian routes. Guard rails also restrict pedestrians gaining access to areas which may be hazardous, dangerous or which must be controlled for pedestrian safety.
The benefit to warehouse safety when guard and hand rails are installed, is evident when using materials handling equipment (MHE). Guard rails are highly visible in colour and size, so help deter MHE users before incidents occur.
Guard and hand rails selected by ASG Services for warehouse safety are manufactured using steel, polypropylene and GRP, which provides choice in design, performance and cost. Not all guard rail requirements are the same which is why ASG Services recommend a combination to make any project cost effective.
Guard and hand rails are not safety barriers to protect MHE impact, see traffic barriers for this product range.
