Work site pedestrian control boom gates by O'Briens Automatic Systems
We are in a climate where the safety of our workers is of the
utmost importance. This duty of care also extends to members of the public walking
past your building site. With cars and trucks entering and leaving building sites
and overhead cranes unloading trucks, building sites can be a dangerous place for
pedestrians.
One way of making this hazardous area safer is to use boom gates to control the flow
of pedestrians. Using a boom gate with a flashing light will bring the pedestrians
attention to the potential hazards and when the boom is down, it will effectively
prevent the pedestrians entering these zones.
Boom gates for this application need to be configured in a very precise way so to
protect people from the boom gate as well as the dangers from vehicles and cranes.
A sample boom gate configuration would be:
- Integrated flashing light and sounder to warn pedestrians the boom gate is about to close.
- Integrated photoelectric beam to prevent the boom arm closing on a person.
- Integrated adjustable automatic reverse function. This will ensure if the boom arm does come into contact with a pedestrian that it will reverse immediately.
- Remote control to raise and lower the boom gate. This mean the operator has complete control over the operation of the boom gate.
This economical boom gate system can be provided in an assembled, easy to install
configuration, which can be unplugged and unbolted and moved to the next building
site with a minimum of fuss.
