Why do we need a standard?
Risks & Incidents
• People, Moving Vehicles, machinery and static structures
• Always creates High Risks• Reduce or Eliminate the Risks
Fatalities & Injuries
• Accidents involving workplace Transport*
• 50 Deaths Annually• 5 000 injuries Annually

When to Use Safety Barriers
Pedestrian Routes
• Gates Should be offset from Doors• Slows the pace of pedestrian traffic
• In swinging Pull gates• Slows Pedestrian Pace• Colour Coded for Fire Exit
Pedestrian Routes
• Pedestrian Handrail can create a fulcrum• Set too low, creates more hazards
• Should be minimum 1.1m High• Should support the weight of 2 adults
leaning on it
Pedestrian Routes
• All Barriers Deflect on impact• Don’t fix Barrier too Close to Walkway• Creates additional Hazard
• Shock Absorbing Deflection• Barriers Set Away from Walkway• Distance relative to Impact & Deflection
Barrier Deflection
• Allow for Deflection• White Line Indicates
Deflection Zone• Create a Safe
Pedestrian Zone
Pedestrian Safe Zone
Crossing Points
• Design out the need for crossing points
• Over head crossing points
• In Swinging Gates for Pause effect
• Marked Crossing Points
Crossing Points
Vehicle Routes
• Wall protection• One Way Floor Arrows• Wide enough for largest vehicle
• Warning Signage• Higher Barrier on raised edge
Vehicle Routes
• Barrier Set too low• Renders barrier ineffective• Creates Topple Hazard
• Correct Height• Effective protection
Vehicle Routes
• Define Likely Critical Impact Zone
• Barrier Height Appropriate
Vehicle Routes
• Line of Sight• Bollard too Short• No Warning
• Bollard Height Increased• Line of Sight Visibility• Deterrent• Warning
Vehicle Routes
• Line of Sight• Bollard too Short• No Warning
• Bollard Height Increased• Line of Sight Visibility• Deterrent• Warning
Vehicle Routes
Critical Structures
• Height Restrictor• Protects Door
• Column Protection• Low Level Kerb
• Offset Bollards• Funnel Effect• Reduces 90o Hazard• Visible Targets
Critical Structures
• Longer than 20m Straight Run• Kerb Barrier Recommended
• Kerb Protects Fork Penetration
Critical Structures
Testing & Certification
• Potential Energy a function of Speed and Mass
Kinetic Energy: Vehicle Speed / Mass
• Angle of Impact• Smaller Angle• Reduced Impact
Potential Energy
Kinetic Energy: Impact Angle
• Example Apparatus for Barrier Testing
Testing: Impact Pendulum
• High Speed Camera• Deflection Zone Measurement
Testing: Impact Pendulum
• Multiple Impact Points to Test
Testing: Where to Impact
Testing: Sled / Vehicle Impact
Hereford, UKZoeterwoude, NL
• 2010 steel barriers showing history of fork lift impacts
• Commonplace throughout the site
• Steel barriers required large and expensive repairs
• No knowledge of any alternative options

Lifting Standards
Lifting Standards
Defining & Agreeing Best Practice:
• Design• Testing• Application
• Developing Standards for Safety barriers
• Safety Can be “Designed in”• Risks Reduced or
Eliminated Completely
Designing in Control
• Like All Safety Equipment
• Safe Load Rating• Select Right Barrier• To Suit Circumstances
Appropriate Barrier Selection
Appropriate Barrier Selection
Assessing Risk: Checklist
• Traffic Flow• Pedestrian Movements• Available Space• Vehicle Types• Vehicle Speed & Mass• Likely Angle of Impact• Potential Energy
• Likely Impact Zone• Barrier Height• Barrier Rating• Tested & Certified

Fire
Why do we need a standard?
• 50 Deaths Annually• 5 000 injuries Annually
• Avoidable• Preventable
BARRIERS ARE THE LAST LINE OF DEFENCE
