Still in great shape

A-Safe barriers were installed at Coca Cola's Malvern plant back in 2006, following a successful trial the year before. In a busy environment like this, wear and tear can be quite a problem, but due to A-Safe's polypropylene construction and built-in memory, the barriers are said to still look like new. In fact, the installation proved so successful that A-Safe barriers have now been installed at a number of other sites in the Coca Cola group.

David Lindesay, the company's team services leader says: "The initial cost of installing A-Safe barriers has been more than offset with the savings made by replacing the metal barriers we previously had in place, which were easily damaged and required repainting on a regular basis.

"By contrast, the A-Safe barriers are of good quality, very low maintenance and provide excellent protection for pedestrians. Not only that, they are also very effective in reducing damage to our forklift trucks, while the workforce feel confident that they are better protected.
