Introduction
Regatta Ltd, renowned for over 80 years as outdoor experts, has expanded significantly, operating 620 stores across the UK. Fisher Alvin has been a trusted supplier to Regatta for over a decade, providing key safety installations in their retail and distribution locations, including their recent expansion in Cork, Ireland.
Challenge
The new distribution centre in Cork faced specific challenges due to the high number of forklift operations within the facility. There was a crucial need for clear, designated walkways to ensure the safety of both employees and visitors. Additionally, the facility required organisational solutions to separate packages and protect against machinery collisions with walls, corners, racking units, and pipes.
Fisher Alvin’s Solution
To address these needs, Fisher Alvin provided a comprehensive suite of safety and organisational tools:
- Designated Walkways: High-visibility, traffic-yellow powder-coated tubes were installed, ensuring they stand out amidst the busy warehouse activity, directing traffic and enhancing safety.
- Key Clamp Handrails and Barriers: Durable Key Clamp Handrails and Barriers were strategically placed to segregate different storage areas, facilitating better organisation and accessibility. These modular components provide a robust and flexible safety solution ideal for dynamic warehouse environments.
- Collision Protection: Handrails were also installed around critical points to prevent machinery from colliding with infrastructure, thereby reducing maintenance costs and enhancing operational longevity.
Outcomes
The installation of Fisher Alvin’s safety barriers and handrails at Regatta’s Cork distribution centre has resulted in:
- Enhanced Safety: Clearly marked and highly visible walkways have significantly reduced the risk of accidents involving forklifts and pedestrian traffic.
- Improved Organisation: The use of Key Clamp Handrails and Barriers to delineate different areas has optimised space utilisation, making storage and retrieval processes more efficient.
- Infrastructure Protection: The barriers and handrails have effectively minimised the risk of collision-related damages, preserving the structural integrity of the warehouse.
Conclusion
Fisher Alvin’s tailored solutions have not only met the specific safety and organisational requirements of Regatta Cork warehouse but have also contributed to a safer, more efficient working environment. These enhancements have underscored the importance of investing in quality safety equipment to manage large, high-traffic distribution centres effectively.
