Technically Speaking

Health & safety -Did you know?• “Every year over 5000 accidents involving

transport in the workplace are reported.

About 70 of these result in death.”

(Essentials of Health and Safety at Work

4th edition)

• “By law, every workplace must be organised

so that pedestrians and vehicles can

circulate safely.” (Workplace Transport

Safety, An Employers’ Guide)

• Pedestrian Segregation and GuidancePedestrian Barriers effectively ensure real physical delineation of peopleand vehicles.

• Fall and Edge HazardProtectionHandrail can also prove vitalaround maintenance pits andin other environments wherethere is a danger of falling.

Pedestrian safety is vital in busy manufacturing and warehouse environments, as the close proximityof people and vehicles can all too often lead to accidents. Most of these accidents occur in

situations where people simply wander from defined areas into the path of oncoming vehicles,rather than vice versa.

A-Safe barriers are the perfect solution to this problem, providing a durable barriersystem made from a polymer-based material to physically prevent pedestrians

straying from designated areas in a way that painted white lines simplycannot do. A-Safe barriers represent a vital long-terminvestment by contributing to that most valuable of all

commodities – staff safety.

• Real segregation of pedestriansfrom traffic, machinery and otherpotential hazards.

• A strong, yet lightweight barrierthat effectively creates safe walkzones by clearly definingpedestrian pathways.

• Black and yellow colours ensurehigh visibility, so people can seeat a glance where they shouldand should not be.

• A highly versatile product rangedesigned to cover everyapplication.

Health and safety is a key priority at Toyota UK andvehicle / pedestrian interaction is one of the biggestconcerns in this area and also one of the most difficult tocontrol. Whilst we considered traditional steel barriers,A-Safe Barriers were chosen as a more cost - effective,long-term option. A-Safe offer an easy to maintain,flexible solution, with different sizes and types of barrieravailable to fit our varied requirements.

Keep danger and people well away from each otherwith A-Safe Pedestrian Barrier.

In a busy, often confusing environment, like a factory or

warehouse, it is vitally important that employees, visitors

and customers always know where they are safe.

Due to the highly visible nature of these safety barriers

designated walkways are clearly marked out enabling people

to see, at a glance, where they should and should not be.

They are ideal for identifying and protecting storage areas,

machinery and equipment and for denying access to places

that are potentially hazardous.

The black and yellow colours, synonymous with dangeror hazards, make A-Safe Handrail the ideal choice inareas of the workplace where there is a risk of fallingor where it is crucial to segregate people fromdangerous equipment and guard against otherpotential risks.

They are also designed to restrict people to defined

routes through factories, warehouses or between buildings.

They clearly mark out the pedestrian pathway and act as a

physical barrier, ensuring visitors and personnel alike do not

accidentally stray from safe areas.

Place an end post on the floor with the holes pointing upwards.

1. Turn the unit so it is standing up without support on the post base plates.

4.

5. Align the holes in the rail ends by looking down inside the post . Insert a locking pin and guide through the holes in all three rails. A mallet may be used to encourage location.

Insert the rails into the holes in the post one by one.

2.

Place the next post on the ground, pick up the assembly you have just built, and lower the rails into the holes in the new post. Alternatively leave the assembly you have just built on the floor and place the holes in the new post over the rails.

3.The only aid that may be required for barrier assembly is a rubber mallet. For anchoring the post base plates the following equipment will be required:=Power Drill=12mm masonry/concrete drill bit, minimum length 120mm =19mm spanner=Torque wrench=Marker pen=Suitable ear, eye and dust protection equipment.

Insert the rails of the new barrier section into the holes on the post of the first barrier section. It helps if the rails are inserted one at a time and the new section is angled as shown.

7.

Move the assembled barrier into its required position and anchor the base plates. Using the base plate as a template drill 4 holes to a minimum depth of 100mm into sound concrete. Insert the M12 fixing bolts supplied with the barrier into the drilled holes and using a hammer, hammer the bolts into the holes until a minimum of 15mm of threaded bolt protrudes above the post base plate. Using a 19mm spanner tighten the fixing bolt nuts until they start to nip down on the base plate. Finally using a torque wrench, torque the bolts to the recommended torque of 40mm for un-cracked concrete and 35Nm for cracked concrete.

Insert the locking pins throgh the rails inside both posts on the new barrier section. Repeat steps 7 & 8 as necessary until the desired length of barrier, finishing with an end or gate post is fully assembled.

8.

When fully assembled, check that the locking pins are sitting flush to the inside wall of the posta. If not, where necessary pull the posts as far apart as possible until the pins are flush to the inner post walls.

9.

Finally fit the post end caps. Place the cap on top of the post and using a rubber mallet, tap the cap on each of its four corners in turn until the cap is fully inserted into the post.

11.

With long lengths of barrier it may be impractical to move the entire length of barrier to mark and drill the holes required for the fixing bolts. In such cases the assembly can be done in manageable lengths of the overall barrier section. If this is done, the orientation of the first length of barrier will determine the orientation of the overall barrier length.

6. Build up another post and rail section.
