Imagine the scene, there’s been a spillage in a corridor or stairway that needs to be cleared but you have the headache of preventing entry and redirecting foot traffic without the luxury of leaving someone to man the post.
Perhaps it’s a more serious issue regarding security or safety and you need to seal off an area quickly and effectively How will one person be able to carry and install, on their own, over 50 metres of high visibility temporary barrier system all within a matter of minutes

A nice thought but highly unlikely you say! Well, not any more, the reality is that such a product is here and now! Following lengthy research and a continued development programme, the innovative ’Z Barrier™’ is here to provide an effective solution that guarantees satisfactory barrier control in any environment.

Traditional systems for controlling people traffic using standard barriers connected via a chain or belt going pole to pole are associated with the continuous problems of maintaining a safe place to work. Even expanding barriers or self-retractable barriers could break, fall down or blow away exposing people to unnecessary and unacceptable risk. The cumbersome nature of the sturdier systems also limits their usability, making them less flexible and impairs their portability. These problems are magnified in areas that have to cope with workspace restrictions and hazardous working conditions such as those found in the offshore gas and oil industry. Barriers are a key requirement of the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations.
The ’Z Barrier™’ system is the most innovative improvement in temporary safety barriers and provides an effective solution that guarantees satisfactory barrier control in any work environment.

’Z Barriers™’ are patent pending for the unique design that ensures barriers are prominent and remain in position, for all physical and environmental conditions.
Manufactured from a unique, reinforced PVC based double-sided warning tape, with a high visibility day glow pattern on one face and a night reflective pattern on the other face.

These are the most visible barriers available on the market today. Quick and easy to put up, they are easily fastened to any anchor point or each other, providing a flexible barrier across any opening, around objects or in multi-directions. Elastic properties allow ’Z Barriers™’ to expand and fit between points instead of being cut to length. They are inherently shock absorbing and resist any degree of wind load to prevent damage.
