Post & barrier

Retractable Security Barrier for Safe Working

A retractable belt barrier is the unsung hero of many industrial and warehouse locations. A post and barrier system can separate different areas of a workspace, allowing a workforce to operate safely and without accidental interruption. If machinery is in use, for instance, a retractable belt barrier can prevent others from walking into the workspace, improving the safety of operations in a cost-effective manner. Another benefit of the post and barrier system is that it’s easy to set up and move around to meet different requirements. Unlike larger barrier systems, a retractable tape barrier and associated posts can be stored compactly to ensure effective use of a business’s storage space.

Different Uses of Retractable Belt Barrier Systems

As well as being used to mark out a general area for safety purposes, the post and barrier system can be used in conjunction with specific warning notices. If you’re operating in a public setting, for example, choosing a retractable belt barrier which cautions people to keep out could be worthwhile, as the general public is less likely to understand why they should not cross a retractable security barrier than a seasoned employee in a warehouse. In addition, a post and barrier system can also be used as a queue belt barrier in public settings to allow safe queue control, such as theatres, cafes or cinemas. If you don’t have the space for a post and barrier system, you could look at implementing a wall mounted belt barrier to suit your needs.

Using the Retractable Belt Barrier

Whether you use the post and barrier system as a retractable security barrier for an industrial site or as a queue belt barrier for public events, it’s important that you choose a system that is both cost-effective and safe to use. For instance, the most economical of retractable barriers will allow for further expansion without the need to purchase expensive pieces of equipment. In addition, there should be safety features built-in such as belt locks and braking systems on the retracting belt to ensure no one is injured during use.
