Impact Protection
Impact protection products are essential in high-traffic workplaces where vehicles, machinery, and people operate in close proximity. From steel crash barriers and column guards to bollards and rack end protectors, these workplace safety systems reduce the risk of accidents, injuries, and costly structural damage. Designed for use in warehouses, logistics centres, manufacturing facilities, and commercial environments, they help maintain site safety by safeguarding entrances, loading bays, support columns, and vulnerable edges.

Impact Protection Products for Workplaces – Barriers, Bollards & Rack Guards
Impact protection systems are a practical safety measure for industrial, commercial, and high-traffic sites. Designed to prevent damage and injury, these products provide critical protection for vulnerable infrastructure, assets, and personnel along with traffic control measures and Thermoplastic Lines and Road Markings. Typical examples include crash barriers to stop forklifts, bollards for doorways, rack end protectors, and high-visibility edging for corners and walkways. They are used in warehouses, factories, stockrooms, airports, distribution centres, and similar environments where collisions are likely.
Workplace impact protection helps reduce maintenance costs, safeguard stock, and uphold site safety standards. It enables clearer traffic segregation, defines pedestrian access, and reinforces compliance with health and safety obligations. Whether shielding key structural points or reinforcing boundaries, these products are designed to absorb or deflect impact from vehicles and equipment. Steel, rubber, and polymer materials provide durability and flexibility, with options for internal and external use across various industries. Bright colour finishes help with visibility and hazard recognition.
Impact Protection FAQs
What types of impact protection products are available?
The most common types include crash barriers, bollards, column guards, rack leg protectors, wall buffers, and pedestrian separation barriers. Each product is designed for specific applications depending on the risk level, type of traffic, and layout of the workplace.
How do I choose the right product for my workplace?
Consider what you are trying to protect (e.g. racking, doorways, pedestrians) and what it needs protection from (e.g. forklifts, pallet trucks, delivery vans). Heavy-duty steel barriers suit high-impact zones, while polymer or rubber systems are ideal for marking and soft-contact protection. If unsure, speak to the technical support team or request a site survey.
Are these products compliant with UK health and safety laws?
Yes, many impact protection systems are designed in line with HSE recommendations for traffic management and workplace segregation. Installing such measures supports compliance with duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
Do these products require professional installation?
Many surface-mounted products can be installed using standard tools and supplied fixings. However, professional fitting is recommended for high-risk areas, structural anchoring, or large-scale projects. Fixing instructions are typically supplied.
