A recent study has revealed the fact
that most of the accidents in the industrial workplace occur due to accidental
slipping, skidding and falling. Such unfortunate accidents not only hampers the
efficiency of the labour but in extreme cases,
it also ends up causing serious injuries to
the person.
So, owners are always suggested to
improve the safety measures in their workplace. It will not only make the
workshop a safe and better place for working but in addition, it will also improve the in-house production.
- Preventing Accidents
There are many ways of preventing the
chances of accidents and owners can do it according to their convenience. For
example, the job can be done easily simply by installing anti-slip walkways,
platform or access systems. However, most of them forget to look after
handrails. Just look around yourself and you
will find that most of your platforms or stairs are not equipped with safety handrail systems.
In a situation like this, installing
handrails will help you to prevent the chances of accidental falling and
slipping in the workplace. In the below section we will take you through the
top 3 reasons that will help you to understand the importance of installing
handrails in the industrial workplace.
- Unpleasant weather conditions like rain or cold make the stairs, platform systems, access systems slippery. So it becomes really dangerous for labourers to use that platform or access system to move a heavy load. The same problem also occurs when they try to move goods from one floor to another by using the stair. In a situation like this handrails help workers to maintain the balance and help them to avoid accidental falling or slipping.
- Daily laborious work often causes weakness and muscle pain to workers. It makes them unable to focus on their core job. However, handrails help labourers to boost their confidence and enable them to use the platform, access or stair systems confidently.
- There are many people who suffer from vertigo. It refers to the problem that climbers face with height when climbing the stair. In a situation like this the support of a handrail system help people (with vertigo) to climb up or down the stair confidently.
So, these are the reasons why you
should install handrails in your workplace. FRP is known for its anti-slip
profile. So it is also suggested to use only FRP made handrail system. Owners
can contact a quality FRP manufacturer
to enhance the safety measures of their workplace.
