Safety barriers are typically bright yellow, which is a universal hazard signal. To ensure long-term visibility, barriers should be self-colored or undergo regular painting maintenance. This means if an impact occurs, the color will not scrape off or fade over time.

Watch this video to see what equipment is required when testing safety barriers to PAS 13 standards. PAS 13 offers expert advice on how safety barriers should be tested and rated for performance.

Watch this video to learn about how we record all our testing data. PAS 13 offers advice and guidelines on how to accurately report your findings when testing safety barriers.

Watch this video to find out the step-by-step procedure we follow when testing safety barriers. All A-SAFE barriers are rigorously tested to PAS 13 standards.

A-SAFE barriers are rigorously tested to PAS 13 standards. Discover what is required for a barrier to pass a PAS 13 approved test.

Watch this video to see what a full test run-looks like when testing to PAS 13. Published by the BSI, PAS 13 offers comprehensive guidelines and advice on compliant safety barrier testing.

Pedestrian crossing points present many dangers. PAS 13 gives detailed advice on how to minimise risks, such as by providing overhead walkways, traffic lights and signage.

In a busy facility, critical structures and valuable equipment are susceptible to impact damage. Safety barriers and bollards can be used to shield and protect columns, electrical equipment and door frames. Kerb barriers can also be applied at a lower level to offer protection against forklift truck forks.

Find out how we set up an impact area when testing safety barriers in accordance with PAS 13.

The height of safety barriers should correspond with the impact zones of all vehicles in operation. Ground-level fork protection should be applied to prevent serious injury from forklift truck forks.

The official best practice for safety barriers and traffic management in industrial facilities

Safety barriers should be present whenever pedestrians and vehicles operate within one meter of each other and when no raised kerbs are installed. Where possible, pedestrian routes should be created to correspond as closely as possible with desire lines to dissuade pedestrians from attempting potentially hazardous shortcuts across active traffic routes.

To ensure pedestrian safety, a safety barrier should include a handrail or balustrade if it is used in an area where pedestrians are present. Handrails should be high enough so that a person cannot fall over the barrier. Additionally, all surfaces should be smooth to further reduce the risk of injury.

All A-SAFE barriers are rigorously tested to PAS 13 standards. Watch this video to see how we set up our vehicles to perform dynamic impact testing.
