Hills Waste Solutions champions new safety walkway
As part of Hills’ ongoing commitment to exceptional health and safety, Hills Waste Solutions has installed an innovative crossing system at their Material Recycling Facility (MRF) at Sands Farm in Calne.
The FHOSS Illuminated Safety Walkway System bridges the gap between people and plant to mitigate the risks. The new walkway, which forms part of a wider focus on pedestrian segregation, uses a combination of traffic lights, illuminated markers, and electromagnetic gates to control the flow of mobile plant and pedestrian movement.
Paul Elling, Compliance Manager for Hills Waste Solutions said: “Mitigating the risk to pedestrians across our industry is a priority safety issue and I commend all concerned for their innovative approach to managing this risk. The installation of this crossing is a clear demonstration of our commitment to avoiding accidents by separating pedestrians from moving plant.”
