Industrial safety necessitates creating safe access routes. Workers should not be putting themselves at risk when moving from one area of a site to another, and a walkway for this purpose is the perfect solution. BM Steel’s range of Industrial Handrail Safety Walkway materials have been designed to create safe walkways in a range of industrial environments, including aerospace, engineering, gas, offshore, oil, and renewable energy. 

In high traffic areas where equipment needs to be moved securely, walkways and handrails establish a safe passage and lower the risk of falls, especially when work is being done close to dangerous machinery. They can also allow for regulated access to specific locations and lower the likelihood that workers will come into contact with potentially harmful substances or gases. Plus, a walkway streamlines foot traffic and removes the likelihood of workers entering hazardous areas.

At BM Steel, we stock all the components you need to create a safe industrial walkway, including kick-flats and fixings, open steel flooring, perforated planks, and stair treads. Reach out to one of our knowledgeable experts today for assistance.
