It’s critical to use the best safety solutions to help stop workplace incidents and the risk of injuries. By doing this, your workers and your construction site will stay safe.
We are a leading UK supplier of site safety products. With more than 135 years of experience, we offer solutions for the tough problems in today’s construction projects.

Why is industrial site safety more critical than ever?

Industrial sites have many safety risks. These include slippery and uneven surfaces, high areas to work in, and heavy machinery. All these dangers can harm workers if not managed well and it is important for every construction business to stick to safety rules in the workplace.

Organisations like the HSE set clear rules for site safety. These rules cover items like handrails and the types of floor surfaces. If businesses do not follow these site safety rules, they may face legal problems and issues with their everyday operations

Height safety solutions

Working at height is very dangerous on industrial sites and there is a big chance of falls which can lead to serious or even fatal injuries.

Proper height safety solutions are very important for fall prevention. This means having guardrails, handrails, and suitable flooring materials, including anti-slip flooring. These items help keep workers safe and, make areas safer and can help prevent accidents. This is key for the safety of employees on construction sites.

How does proper flooring and handrailing prevent industrial workplace accidents?

A major safety concern on building sites is slipping and falling and the use of proper handrails, guardrails, and flooring can help reduce these risks.

Handrailing is important to prevent falls, particularly in high places like platforms, walkways, and stairways where workers are more likely to get hurt.

Guardrails provide grip, support, and safety to help workers keep their balance and move safely in high areas, while a strong anti-slip surface and solid materials help make walking safe.

Materials like GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), aluminium, steel, and cast iron have good slip resistance, which is vitally important in areas where there is water, oil, and other hazardous substances.

Handrailing systems

For fall protection, we offer different handrailing systems. These systems make sure workers are safe when they work at high places. Some of the options we have are Mezzirail and GRP systems.

The Mezzirail system is made up of BZP square RHS posts, tubes, and a flat bar kick plate. These parts are perfect for flooring, stair treads, and handrails. The pallet gates fit well with guardrails and toe-board barriers on mezzanines. This setup helps to keep workers safe when they are working at heights. In general, this system offers safe access for loading and unloading pallets in high spaces and on mezzanine floors.

The GPR handrail system is strong and light and easy to take care of. This system offers safe support in many spots, such as staircases, walkways, platforms, and balconies and is both safe and attractive. This makes it a smart choice for places that need fall protection and support for users, while also keeping everything looking nice.

We also provide roof access ladders for a secure and straightforward solution to allow staff safe access to working at height. The modular design uses components that bolt together to create a complete ladder that can adapt for any access challenge.

Anti-slip flooring

We offer a range of good flooring materials, including non-slip coatings and strong surfaces that help prevent slips, trips, and falls. Some of the options we have include GRP grating and open steel flooring.

GRP grating and treads do not corrode, slip, or get damaged easily, are lighter than steel, and they resist fire and chemicals, making them perfect for industrial sites. They can be used for walkways, ramps, gantries, workstations, platforms, gangways, and factories.

Our open steel flooring range has rectangular bearer bars, which cover the lengths of the flooring panels. This flooring is designed for raised platforms and walkways and is mainly used above busy work areas, especially over machines, keeping people safe from falling objects that can cause severe injuries.

Facility protection

To keep your workers safe, you also need to protect your site which will help guard against potential risks and potential hazards.

Steel safety barriers, crash barriers, bollards, guard rails, and post protectors are good choices to consider. For example, in areas with moving cars, barriers can help shield buildings and equipment from accidental impact. They can also protect workers from dangerous machinery.

Temporary security fencing around your construction site is also key for safety. Our temporary fencing options are quick and easy to assemble to protect your site and keep out members of the public.

Construction site access gates provide secure, affordable protection and can fit alongside timber or steel hoarding systems. Corrosion-resistant, our site gate kits are supplied with gate posts, hinges, gates with drop bar, stretcher bars, welded mesh panels, clamp bars, and mesh Tek screws for easy assembly.
