How can traffic be regulated in work zones where pedestrians and forklifts must coexist?
This question sparks considerable debate, as traffic control depends on specific cases and lacks a universal system adaptable to all situations. Some areas may require visual signals, others need access control, and some may require speed regulation.
In many cases, a combination of different solutions is necessary to address the issue effectively.
Despite its complexity, it’s crucial to manage traffic in our workplaces to prevent risks and accidents with severe consequences.
We are all familiar with signs indicating the presence of vehicles or hazardous areas, but these signs can often be overlooked if they are not effective enough or due to human error, typically caused by rushing through tasks that require focus or by violating rules such as entering restricted areas without authorisation.
The Traffic Control System (TCS) developed by Claitec is not a single solution but encompasses various tools depending on the specific problem and the situation that requires proper traffic management. This involves the intervention of a trained professional to advise and find the best solution.
Claitec’s team of experts is highly experienced in identifying problems and proposing the best options.
In some cases, high-intensity visual signals, like the VAS system, are used. In others, access is regulated and pedestrian priority is ensured through safety gates – such is the case of our PSG, among many other possibilities.
In summary, effective traffic management in areas where is not possible to separate pedestrians from vehicles can prevent accidents and even save lives. These are compelling reasons to pay attention and seek effective solutions.
While our primary concern is people’s safety, we cannot overlook the material cost. In many fortunate situations where there are no human casualties, there can be damages to vehicles or parts of the work environment, incurring significant costs for the company.
