The Importance of Pedestrian Safety Rail Systems
Pedestrian rails play a crucial role in workplace safety management, especially in environments where forklifts and pedestrians share operational spaces. These modular barriers, like those offered by Image Extra, guide foot traffic and prevent workplace accidents, providing a permanent safety solution for businesses. Powder-coated construction ensures durability and high visibility, making them a cost-effective solution for improving workplace safety standards. These systems are designed for various industrial applications, offering flexibility to suit different operational needs. Whether for protecting workers or controlling access to restricted areas, Image Extra’s pedestrian rail systems are an essential investment for businesses looking to enhance safety compliance.
Pedestrian Pathway Protection
Pedestrian rails are crucial in creating dedicated walkways separate from vehicle operating areas. Establishing clear boundaries between pedestrian zones and forklift traffic prevents accidents and ensures workers can move safely through industrial environments without interference from mobile equipment.
Workplace Traffic Management
Pedestrian barriers provide an effective solution for workflow organization, directing foot traffic along designated safe routes while restricting access to hazardous work areas. They help organize warehouse operations, reduce collision risks, and ensure smoother operational processes.
Hazardous Area Control
Pedestrian rail systems protect workers by controlling access to dangerous machinery, chemical storage areas, and high-risk operational zones. Strategic placement creates safety perimeters that prevent unauthorized access while maintaining visibility for supervision.
Standards Compliance
Pedestrian rails designed to Australian Standards AS1657:2018 and AS1428.1 help businesses meet workplace safety regulations, providing compliant handrail heights and structural integrity for industrial pedestrian applications.
Types of Pedestrian Rail Configurations
Short Length Rails (600mm-900mm)
Compact pedestrian rails ideal for creating corner sections, gateway openings, and short barrier segments. Perfect for protecting specific equipment areas, creating access points, and establishing boundaries around workstations or machinery.
Medium Length Rails (1200mm-1500mm)
Standard pedestrian rails suitable for most general barrier applications. These lengths provide optimal balance between installation efficiency and structural integrity, ideal for creating continuous walkway barriers and work area separation.
Extended Length Rails (2000mm)
Long-format pedestrian rails designed for covering larger areas with fewer connections. These extended rails reduce installation time and joint points, making them perfect for creating continuous barriers along warehouse aisles and production lines.
Modular Connection System
All Dugite pedestrian rails feature compatible connection systems allowing different lengths to be combined for custom configurations. This modular approach provides maximum flexibility for adapting to specific workplace layouts and future modifications.
