Facility Protection

Facility protection encompasses a range of products and practices designed to prevent damage to buildings, equipment, and infrastructure and to enhance the safety of personnel within a facility.

Here are some key aspects of facility protection:

Preventing Slips, Trips, and Falls: According to the sources, slips, trips, and falls are the most cited violations by WHS, resulting in many fatalities and injuries every year. Implementing safety measures, such as:

Spill Containment: Using products like spill pallets, drum rack containment systems, and containment berms to prevent spills and leaks from posing slipping hazards.

Cable Management: Utilising cable protection systems to cover exposed cords and cables, reducing tripping hazards.

Marking Hazards: Clearly marking hazardous areas and ensuring adequate lighting can also help prevent accidents.

Protecting Structures and Equipment:

Impact Protection: Employing products like I-beam protectors, corner protectors, and wall protectors to shield structures from damage caused by forklifts, pallet jacks, and other equipment.

Leak Diversion: Utilising roof and pipe drip diverters to redirect leaks away from valuable equipment and inventory, preventing water damage and potential safety hazards.

Parking Stop Protection: Using parking stop protectors to cover and protect parking stops, enhancing their appearance and reducing maintenance needs.
