If you don’t know what bollards are, they are short, vertical posts used to protect exposed structures, people, or buildings from damage caused by vehicles. They are available in a variety of heights and widths, depending on the level of security you require. Bollards can help to protect your workers and the general public alike from accidents, vandalism, and crime. Read on to find out the various ways that bollards can help to keep your employees safe.
Bollards can help to protect your workers and the general public alike from accidents, vandalism, and crime.
Bollards Create a Physical Barrier
Bollards act as a physical barrier between your employees and sources of danger, such as out of control cars or even terrorist attacks. Their ability to keep danger away, regardless of their height and strength, is unmatched. They can even help to give your property curb appeal – no need to have them looking intimidating or imposing (unless you want that look!). They can be easily decorated and serve as planters, entryways, and other decorations.
Bollards Serve as a Deterrent
Bollards are visual reminders that the area they surround is off limits to vehicles and people. They can also serve as a warning to those who may be considering purposeful destruction or careless behavior. If you have invested in bollards, what other security measures does your company have that may not be as visible?
Bollards Let Drivers Know to Stay Away
Bollards encourage drivers to keep away from certain areas and especially help to separate areas of car and foot traffic. They can be found in entrances to buildings, construction zones, and pedestrian walkways to help keep people out of harm’s way. They can be painted in bright colors to alert motorists of their presence and allow pedestrians to walk in peace.
