Install a Self-Closing Safety Gate to Help Prevent Falls

In certain locations in your facility you will want to install a self-closing safety gate. This type of safety gate automatically closes after someone passes through the gate. An ideal location to install these kinds of gates is at the tops of stairwells leading up to mezzanines used for storage. The gate can prevent someone from accidently falling down the stairs anytime they are picking up or dropping off items in storage.

Use a Self-Closing Safety Gate in Areas Where Employees May Have Items in Their Hands

 

A self-closing safety gate is well suited for areas where your employees may not always be able to have their hands free. For instance, you maintenance workers could be entering a restricted area and carrying tools and replacement parts. Rather than having to set down these items, they can still open the safety gate and it will close behind them. The direction the gate opens is reversible to suit with your facility and needs.
