What types of safety barriers are available at Action Handling?

We offer a variety of safety barriers including metal, plastic, and polymer barriers, bollards, pedestrian barriers, impact protection barriers, and modular barrier systems suitable for workplaces, warehouses, and outdoor sites.

How do safety barriers improve workplace safety?

Safety barriers protect pedestrians and equipment by clearly marking hazardous zones, segregating vehicle routes, preventing falls, and absorbing impact to reduce injuries and property damage.

Are the safety barriers compliant with UK regulations?

Yes, our safety barriers comply with relevant UK standards such as PAS 13 for workplace safety barrier performance and installation, ensuring they meet legal and safety requirements.

Can safety barriers be used both indoors and outdoors?

Many of our barriers are designed with weather-resistant materials and coatings, making them suitable for both indoor use in warehouses or factories and outdoor use in car parks and construction sites.

Are there different installation options for safety barriers?

Yes, we provide bolt-down, freestanding, and modular barriers allowing quick installation, flexibility for site layout changes, and easy maintenance or replacement of sections.

Can safety barriers be customised for specific site requirements?

Many barriers can be tailored in size, colour, and reflectivity, and some allow branding or safety signage to enhance visibility and communicate site-specific messages effectively.

How do impact protection barriers differ from standard safety barriers?

Impact protection barriers are specifically designed with energy-absorbing materials to withstand vehicle collisions, protecting both infrastructure and personnel in high risk or traffic-intensive areas.

What maintenance is required for safety barriers?

Regular inspection for damage, cleaning, and timely repairs or replacements ensure safety barriers continue to function properly and comply with health and safety regulations.

How do I select the right safety barrier for my site?

Consider factors such as traffic volume, vehicle size, hazard type, indoor or outdoor conditions, and regulatory standards to choose barriers that best fit your operational and safety needs.
