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.
