Safety barrier system

Recognising that safety in its depots and vehicle repair workshops could be improved, Stagecoach UK Bus turned to queue management specialist, Tensator.

As part of an initial trial at Stagecoach's Hastings depot, Tensator developed and installed its high visibility barrier system with pit protection posts to cordon off dangerous pit areas. Simple clips connected the webbing posts to pit bridges, with retractable technology allowing the safety barrier system to move with the bridge, ensuring that the pit is cordoned off at all times.

Tensator designed the system to include high visibility yellow webbing with 'Beware Open Pit' messaging, and accompanying visuals, so it would be clearly seen by engineers and ground floor staff.
