Winter is almost here, which means it is time for facility managers to proactively consider ways to reduce accidents related to sleet, snow, and ice accumulation. In preparation for winter safety, the editors of the Wall and Corner Guard Blog have compiled the following list of products designed to keep facilities a safer place through the holiday season.
Facility Evaluation. Before reviewing the products below, it’s important for facility managers to consider the importance of a facility walk-through this November. This practice can be used by any property owner, no matter what the industry or location of the business. Facility walk-throughs provide a bird’s eye view of all aspects of operation, specifically identifying areas and practices that may cause accidental injury to employees and/or guests. For more information on facility walk-throughs and methods of slip and fall prevention, readers may visit this article.
Products for Winter
Parking Stops. Control traffic and parking lot usage with our Parking-Stop®, made from a unique recycled polymer that is 1/10th the weight of traditional concrete stops.
Bollard Covers. Parking bollards are often used to manage the flow of traffic around the exterior of a facility, as well as through parking lots and garages. Invest in a fluorescent Bollard Cover® to ensure these concrete posts remain visible, even as snow begins to pile up.
Rubber Bumpers. These products are ideal for use in areas where cars, trucks, and light machinery might accidentally come into contact with facility walls. Bumpers are particularly valuable during the winter, when rain, sleet, snow, and ice make it easy to lose control. Consider our Style D Rubber Impact Bumper your best solution.
Dock Bumpers. Loading docks are often the site of unintentional slides, impact, and damage during winter months. Protect both facilities and vehicles with Laminated Dock Bumpers, available in custom sizes to meet your facility’s exact specifications.
