Plastic replaces metal
June 1st 2010 Safety barrier manufacturer A-Safe
has helped metal packaging firm
Impress to enhance and maintain its
impressive safety record by installing
pedestrian and vehicle barrier
systems at the company's Merthyr
Tydfil site. A-Safe uses its patented
plastic extrusion production
methods to guarantee all barriers can
withstand an impact of up to
304KN. All barriers have been
certified BS6180 and BS6399.
The installation was carried out in
the production, warehousing and
storage areas.The site has a total staff
of 178, with 50 people working in
the production areas on each shift, so
safety is a vitally important factor.
David Lynn, litho manager
comments: "When we were looking
to replace our old metal barriers, ASafe
was actually recommended to us
by our sister plant in Sutton. They'd
already had A-Safe barriers installed
and they were really pleased with
them.
"Now we feel the same way, too.
As the barriers and gates are
polymer-based, they look much
smarter than the previous ones,
they're easier to maintain and, most
important of all, they meet the
stringent safety standards of our
plant to the letter. I'd certainly
recommend A-Safe to anyone
without hesitation!" More articles from A-Safe (UK) Ltd: |
