A safer way around the world

Global manufacturer Kimberly Clark
has upgraded its safety standards
worlwide with thanks to safety
barrier specialist A-Safe.

Since trialling a small section of
double-rail traffic barrier at its paper
pulping line in Flint, UK, Kimberly
Clark has appointed A-Safe as an
approved supplier worldwide, with ASafe
now installed across its
warehouses internationally.

Kimberly Clark says that it chose
the polymer-based safety barrier
systems over and above steel
equivalents because it provided the
strength and durability of steel, with
the flexibility, and reduced
maintenance of plastic.

The plastic used has a special inbuilt
memory, similar to an elastic
band, so any impact will be absorbed
and then will automatically spring
back to its original shape. Therefore,
unlike its steel contemporaries, the ASafe
plastic does not need to be
replaced or repaired each time it is hit.
