Summary:

There was a problem of separation between pedestrian and forklift traffic at the site. Previously installed tape marking the pedestrian walkways did not protect employees from possible forklift impact. A system of flexible barriers was installed, which were designed to provide maximum safety in such instances. Not only do the barriers provide excellent protection against accidents, but if they are hit by a forklift they do not break but return to their original shape, so there is no need to replace the damaged element.
