Protecting Warehouse Walkways from Material Handling Traffic

The warehouse environment is full of hazards.  One of the many hazards that plant managers need to be aware of is protecting walking workers from workers operating material handling equipment such as pickers and forklifts.

A recent customer utilized our Kwik Kit Safety Rail product to provide a safe right of way to pedestrians walking near utility vehicles in the warehouse.

Here is the scenario BEFORE the Kwik Kit Safety Rail was installed:
No physical barrier to protect the worker.  Only a visual barrier of cones was present to designate the walkway.

Here is the scenario AFTER the Kwik Kit Safety Railing was installed:
Workers clearly separated from hazards.  Workers are clearly aware of when they were leaving the “safe zone” via the self closing safety gate
