Looking after business: A wellused phrase that needs constant revision. Today’s modern workplaces are generally focused on safety first, informed with the knowledge that a well-protected, well organised facility is key to long-term productivity and profit.
Naturally, the products and services employed within a facility are key to efficiency. Which is where some smart products come into their own.
The best protection comes multilayered and the best barrier protection in a facility will cover four key areas – the essential ‘P’s of protection: people, property, performance and profits.
People are the lifeblood of a company and need protecting. In the words of the HSE: ‘Nobody should lose their life or become ill simply from doing their job’. Protect your people from interaction with workplace traffic and you not only reduce risk to them, you reduce the risks to your company: loss of productivity, insurance, rehabilitation expenses, compensation payouts, recruitment fees, loss of reputation and more. It’s simple: traffic and pedestrians should be managed and separated with barriers – and barriers should only be installed that are capable of withstanding impacts of vehicles.
Property, machinery and the vital structures that compose the integral parts of your workspace need reinforcement. Singular heavy impacts or repeat ‘wear-and-tear’ can have catastrophic consequences. Fit-forpurpose barrier protection – which means a barrier that will not crumple on impact – will offer the protection you require.
An improvement on performance comes with the streamlining and organisation that a good barrier layout offers. A properly designed and well-thought out barrier system will not only protect a facility, it will segregate personnel from vehicles.
Finally profits. Gone are the days when health and safety was seen as some bureaucratic nightmare. Investment in good health and safety should be a basic tenet of any company. Long term, profits are improved by investment in health and safety. Companies that don’t invest will, eventually, pay the price.
