Take a Major Step to Safer Pedestrian Segregation with A-SAFE Pedestrian safety is vital in busy manufacturing and warehouse environments, as the close proximity of 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 barrier system made from a polymer-based material to physically prevent pedestrians straying from designated areas in a way that painted white lines simply cannot do. A-Safe barriers represent a vital long-term investment by contributing to that most valuable of all Applications: The A-Safe range has been developed for a wide number of applications including: commodities staff safety. Pedestrian Segregation and Guidance Pedestrian Barriers effectively ensure real physical delineation of people and vehicles. Real segregation of pedestrians from traffic, machinery and other potential hazards. A strong, yet lightweight barrier that effectively creates safe walk zones by clearly defining pedestrian pathways. Benefits Black and yellow colours ensure high visibility, so people can see at a glance where they should and should not be. A highly versatile product range designed to cover every application. 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) Health and safety is a key priority at Toyota UK and vehicle / pedestrian interaction is one of the biggest concerns in this area and also one of the most difficult to control. 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 barrier available to fit our varied requirements. Technically Speaking A-Safe Pedestrian Barriers and Handrail are manufactured to a height of 1100mm, as required by legislation. Stefan Adamski Specialist Senior Health & Safety, Toyota Manufacturing Walkway Segregation Walkways are clearly marked out by Pedestrian Barriers for maximum safety. Vehicle and Pedestrian Access Points Slide Gates provide convenient vehicle access, while Swing Gates are designed for pedestrian access. A-Safe Pedestrian Barrier has been tested and certified to BS6180 and can easily withstand a force of 1.5kN (balustrade test). A-Safe provides far more than just a comprehensive range of safety products. We also offer a full consultation service, ensuring that you choose the right product for the right application.

BARRIER A MORE FLEXIBLE SOLUTION PEDESTRIAN BARRIER Keep danger and people well away from each other with 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.

BARRIER A MORE FLEXIBLE SOLUTION HANDRAIL The black and yellow colours, synonymous with danger or hazards, make A-Safe Handrail the ideal choice in areas of the workplace where there is a risk of falling or where it is crucial to segregate people from dangerous equipment and guard against other potential 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.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION Pedestrian Barrier Installation Instructions 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. 3. 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. 1. Place an end post on the floor with the holes 4. Turn the unit so it is standing up without pointing upwards. support on the post base plates. 2. Insert the rails into the holes in the post one by one. 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.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION Pedestrian Barrier Installation Instructions 6. Build up another post and rail section. 7. 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. 1 0 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. 8. 9. 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. 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. 11. 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. 1 2 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.
