End of rack protection
August 1st 2010

ASG Services was chosen by Alliance Healthcare to supply marking for pedestrian walkways, handrail /barriers and signage as well as many other safety products and advice for its new distribution centre in Exeter.

The distribution centre is sized 56,000 sq ft and is used to distribute medicines and over the counter products to retail and hospital pharmacies and dispensing doctors.

As an automated sortation system had been installed together with very narrow aisle pallet racking and combined with a large number of personnel within the same area it was imperative to ensure health and safety was considered seriously.

In consultation with the Alliance Healthcare team ASG proposed a number of safety features.

For example, the pallet racking was provided with end of rack protection while a number of pedestrian walkways were also given protection using a combination of barrier and hand rail with an additional 100mm x 75mm angle fixed to the floor to prevent the forks of any fork lift trucks causing damage or injury.
