Why OSHA Compliance Matters for Busy Industrial Facilities
OSHA sets the minimum legal standard for keeping workers safe around industrial vehicles and heavy equipment. When sites fall short, the consequences are real.
-
Fines and enforcement actions
-
Higher injury rates
-
Unplanned downtime
-
Increased insurance exposure
Safety leaders use OSHA as the baseline for stronger, more resilient operations. A-SAFE barriers help make these expectations practical on busy floors.
What OSHA Requires in Industrial Environments
Segregating pedestrians and vehicles
OSHA requires separating foot traffic from industrial trucks wherever possible to reduce collision risks.
Impact protection for people and assets
Physical barriers must help prevent struck-by incidents around racking, columns, equipment, and workers.
Clearly defined walkways and routes
Walking areas must stay clear, orderly, and visibly marked to guide people safely through high-traffic zones.
