As a
business owner or busy site manager, it can be difficult to accurately assess the
level of danger on your site. There are many considerations to take into
account and areas where the likelihood of an accident is high. This is
especially true, in areas where pedestrians may come into contact with traffic
or other equipment. One good way to deal with this problem is to install
removable or static steel bollards in areas of potential danger. Let’s take a
look at three ways that removable stainless bollards can help to keep your
employees and visitors safe.
1. A
Physical Barrier:
A
single bollard on its own offers a modicum of protection, but when Removable Steel Bollards are used together, they represent a significant barrier. They
can easily be used to create a physical barrier to protect pedestrian employees
and visitors from sources of danger. This could be an access road, a busy area
in your warehouse or even a parking area. The bollards we supply can be basic
and functional or for an area where you want to impress they can be an
attractive addition to your business premises landscape. In either scenario,
steel bollards used in concert are very effective at nullifying kinetic force.
Because these bollards are also removable, they are very flexible in use, and
you can open up or close off an area as required.
2. A
Deterrent:
A
safety bollard is a powerful deterrent for vandalism and careless behaviour
that could damage your site. It is a visual reminder that the site is being
looked after and establishes a firm perimeter. When used to designate a border
between a traffic area and a pedestrian area they make people pay attention to
their surroundings. This lowers the chance of an accident occurring due to
inattention or reckless behaviour.
3.
Channeling Traffic:
A
series of bollards can be used to channel both foot and vehicular traffic away from
sensitive places. This separation could take place in a number of areas, such
as bike paths, access roads, car parks, pedestrian walkways and building
entrances. Keeping pedestrians and vehicles apart as much as possible is a sure
way to improve safety on your site and bollards are the best way to achieve
this.
