Warehouse Dangers Are Ever Present But Entirely Manageable

Construction News Image
We are a team with many years of experience working in the barrier industry.

Due to our knowledge, we are able to help practically anyone who needs products.

There are many items on offer here, including column and corner protection. They will serve you well should you choose to invest in them.

Column guards, skirts, or wraps are items you can source cheaply and install rapidly. They serve a pivotal role in warehouse health and safety as well. A mere misjudgement or distraction within your facility can cost you a huge amount. This is particularly true if the incident leads to structural damage that makes everything unsafe, or causes staff injuries. There can also be a loss of money due to repair bills and the loss of productivity.

Damage to support columns

There is one common incident relating to warehouse work; a pallet jack, forklift, or similar machinery hitting racking or support columns. In several businesses, it tends to be the same corner or edge that suffers the impacts. Regardless of how much training your team has, this is a daily risk. It remains even if you logically lay your warehouse out too.

Evidently, there is a massive issue here for the operator or driver, or for those standing close by if a structure comes down. Even the smallest graze or knock on can dent your expensive gear. What's more, there is the potential for you to have a visit from a structural engineer. They will come to find out about possible hidden damage to your supports.

Many of the problems we have spoken of here can become far less concerning by installing column and corner protectors. Even better, by purchasing the right products you won't need to buy new ones too often either. They can be very durable and last for years.

Browse for column and corner protection

At Barrier Mart we make sure that our customers have easy access to the right items. Here, you can find a decent range of plastic column and corner protection installations. They are reasonably priced and can safeguard your property for a long time. They work in any setting, from the busiest warehouses to car parks.

So, if you would like to know more about column and corner protection or other barrier products, feel free to speak to us. We can recommend items to help you maximise site safety and you can order online.
