In fact, they are extremely important, as accidents and injuries in these areas can have serious consequences for both employees and external users. It is therefore essential to adopt an integrated approach that includes preventive measures, training, adequate equipment and constant vigilance to ensure road safety.
Designing traffic routes for workplace safety
Proper design of traffic routes is the first step to ensuring safety at work. Access and exit routes should be wide, well lit and clearly marked.
Curves, intersections and pedestrian crossings should be designed to minimise blind spots and maximise visibility. Ergonomics should also be considered to avoid excessive strain when moving loads.
Appropriate safety signs
The installation of clear and legible safety signs is essential to safely guide drivers and pedestrians on roads. Signs for speed, mandatory directions and crossing zones must be clearly visible. The use of contrasting colors and bright lettering can increase the effectiveness of signs, especially in low light conditions.
Training and awareness
Training is a fundamental pillar for ensuring road safety. Employees must be trained in road traffic rules, the correct use of equipment (such as forklifts or industrial vehicles) and emergency procedures. Raising awareness among workers about the effects of careless or distracted behavior can contribute to greater awareness and responsibility.
Using safety equipment
Using appropriate safety equipment can make a difference in preventing accidents. Physical barriers, such as guardrails, can protect pedestrian areas from vehicles. Audible or visual warning devices can warn drivers of impending danger. Adopting technologies, such as surveillance cameras and detection systems, can further improve safety.
Regular maintenance
Safe roads require constant maintenance. Obstacles must be promptly removed, slippery surfaces treated, and damaged signs repaired. Routine preventive inspections can identify potential hazards in advance, allowing for timely intervention.
Constant vigilance
Continuous vigilance is essential to maintaining road safety. Supervisors should monitor whether workers are following the rules and intervene in case of unsafe behavior. In addition, collecting and analyzing data on accidents or near misses can lead to the implementation of targeted improvements.
Our solution for corporate transport routes
We have created a truly innovative solution capable of guaranteeing maximum safety on corporate transport routes.
It is a low-power LED projected sign that has a number of benefits including:
- resistance to extreme temperatures,
- high visibility in any environment, even dusty or dark,
- modularity: they can be easily relocated based on changes in the industrial environment and therefore in the event that it is decided to change the circulation route plan,
- zero maintenance: unlike traditional signs, especially if they are exposed to frequent vehicle traffic.
But that's not all, this type of traffic sign can change when certain conditions occur. For example, when forklifts pass or on other occasions, it is possible to interrupt traffic and place a Stop sign.
A solution capable of guaranteeing maximum safety in the workplace, which has already transformed the working environment of many companies.
