Tailor-made solution

Manufacturer of tissues and hygienerelated products, SCA Hygiene Products, has installed A-Safe safety barriers to act as part of a fall protection system at its parent roll warehouse in Flint. The barriers in the HGV loading bay protect staff against falls from a considerable height.

Simon Hobson, site safety leader, comments: "The problem we had was particular to this area and required a tailor-made product. Basically, we needed to cut out the potential hazard of employees falling into the pit next to the loading bay area, but permanent barriers would have been impractical, because the personnel needed free access to do their jobs.

A-Safe provided the answer by specially designing the barriers in removable sections, so a specific barrier can be moved out of the way when the wagons move into position to be loaded or unloaded. The perfect solution!"
