A post and chain barrier is used to cordon off areas and restrict access to vehicles and people, increasing the safety of a place. They can be used in colleges, airports, hotels, store-rooms, shops, and hospitals. A ladder tag holder can also help in improving safety. They can also be used in warehouses and in transport and logistics. They are especially useful when you need to carry out maintenance or control queues. They can be used in outdoor areas as well as indoors. The base of the post and chain barrier should be strong and stable. The heavier the base, the greater its capacity to withstand great wind speeds. When used at the ground level, it helps to separate the safe zone from the danger zone, thereby protecting people from moving machinery and vehicles. On rooftops, it protects workers from falls from heights. The demarcation is usually installed two metres away from the danger area.
Highly Visible
The post and chain barrier acts as a distancing barrier system. It should be highly visible to warn people to keep away from hazardous areas. These barriers are easy to erect, and they can be left safely in place as they cannot be easily moved or disturbed. The connecting chains of a post and chain barrier should be made of corrosion-resistant material, and they should ideally be weather resistant too. This social distancing barrier consists of 4 components, namely the base, the upright, the chain, and the connector link. The posts are placed 3m apart from each other.
Product Specifications
The base of a post and chain barrier is made of recycled rubber, it is heavy, and it has a non-penetrative base. The upright portion may be up to 950 mm high in a trapezoidal construction and is made of high-quality stainless steel. An orange-coated powder finish ensures great visibility. The chain is orange and black in colour and made of polyethylene. The connector link is a split link and is used to join the lengths of the chain. Post and chain barriers have to be wind tunnel tested so that they can resist wind speeds of up to 105 mph when used outdoors.
Importance of A Ladder Tag Holder
A ladder tag holder helps management to track their inspection records and thereby improve the safety of their equipment. This is really important as workplaces are expected to adhere to safety standard regulations laid down by the government. Checking the ladders for any kind of damage is necessary for the safety of the workers who will be using them. Ladder tag holders have to be made of durable materials that are weatherproof and UV resistant. The user of the ladder should be able to recognise with a single glance if the safety system is in a test. The tag should be plainly visible and easy to read.
Tamper Proof
There is a back plate on a ladder tag holder that is opaque and that holds the tag firmly in place. The front portion is transparent, ensuring that the information on the tag can be read easily without effort. The tag should be tied firmly in place with cable ties. The tag cannot be removed without cutting the cable ties, thereby making it tamper-proof.
