This nationwide electronics retailer was in need of a safety solution to delineate traffic and pedestrians in their warehouse. Vanguard were called in to consult with the management team on site and offer a solution that would ensure safety for their staff.

Challenge:

The company’s warehouse had forklifts operating in the same space as pedestrians, including a workstation where staff had their backs to the high-activity area which made them vulnerable and sometimes unaware of forklift movements.

Solution:

Our on-site safety consultant provided an engineered solution that involved the installation of double-rail Traffic Barrier with Pause Gates to manage pedestrian movement speed, and Expanding Barriers where larger trollies or pallets needed to be moved from the warehouse to the showroom.

Result:

The team can now operate in a much safer work environment, with staff kept separate from forklifts. The team’s manager was pleased with the result and commented, ‘Your guys did a great job, thank you. Felt safer as soon as the first section went in’.
