With our merchandise, it is possible to cover all the angles, figuratively and literally. As a result, people can carry on working in a safe environment without worrying about incidents occurring.

Corner guards are the ideal solution for protecting your walls and vehicles from scrapes and bumps. These are versatile installations suitable for environments like warehouses, garages, and car parks. Typically yellow in colour, they are also highly visible. So, people can pass them safely without causing any problems. Let's discuss them in further detail and look at key safety considerations you need to take when using them.

Designs

Corner guards are protective measures. They work to stop damage done to vehicles, walls, and other objects. Usually, you make them using materials like metal, rubber, and plastic. Their design enables them to absorb the impact of minor scrapes and bumps.

In places like warehouses, factories, and car parks, there is a greater risk of objects coming into contact with corners. You need more durable guards here.

There are also some scenarios where they are used in offices and homes to keep walls and furniture safe. Plastic ones can be sufficient in these settings though.

Safety first

As for the safety considerations with column and corner protection, there are several you should keep in mind when using the guards. For one thing, you need to install them securely and properly. If you fail to do so, they won't work as intended. In fact, they could come free at the first hint of an impact.

You need to keep pets and children away from the protectors as well. Both might be tempted to chew or play with them. This can lead to injury and compromise the level of protection they offer.

You shouldn't use protectors as replacements for proper supervision or caution in busy locales either. They can help reduce the risk of impact, but never depend on them as the only protective measure. By following these considerations, you can ensure the safe and effective use of your spaces.
