To keep the workplace safe, sometimes you do need to restrict access to people or vehicles. Warehouse like this, the problem you would have could just be theft. In other words, people walking in here, just helping themselves to stuff. Or if they do come in, then potentially they are running the risks that could be happening in here. If this was a factory, then you have got problems of people walking into areas with machinery being activated, things like that. Also here we have got forklift trucks, so the problem there is if someone walks in and the driver does not see the person as they come through, and it can cause an accident.
So there are different ways you can stop people accessing an area or vehicles accessing an area. Now one could be signage. Just popping signs up, No Entry, or No Pedestrian Access, or even a pedestrian access but having marked areas on the floors so that the pedestrians know they must walk within a certain area, to avoid them going into an area where there is machinery. So this may be a pathway on the side of a road or a designated area inside a warehouse. Other things can be pillars to stop vehicles coming through. These can be electronic and they come up to stop vehicle access or they can just be as simple as some cones to stop vehicle access.
But if you wanna stop people, they are often harder because they are just going to walk and go where they need, so you may well use something like this. And what this is is a concertinas-type barrier and literally all you do with it, it has got brakes on all the wheels and you can literally just walk it across and that will be an area where you can stop people coming through. It is tall enough and very visual so that people will not cross that area and you can easily move it. Because there is brakes on all ends, if you lock it in the open position, then it stays in an open position and it completely seals this gap in. So even, for example, in summer, you want the doors open to get some air in, yet we can keep this across to keep people out.
So look at ways that people can enter a building who are not supposed to be there and then you need to look at ways you can avoid those people gaining access or those vehicles gaining access onto the site. Another potential risk can be people walking in through an office door, walking into an office environment, again where they are getting somewhere they should not be and potentially an accident happening. So a simple door entry system can solve that, where someone can just push the button, the door actually closes on a magnetic lock, so you cannot open this door unless the office have allowed people to get in, but for staff, they can literally just enter in the code and gain access straight to the building.
