Why invest in anti-collision systems?

An anti-collision system is a safety device intended to limit or avoid collisions between vehicles and pedestrians in an industrial area. Among other things, it is used to warn the driver of the presence of a passer-by nearby and vice versa when visibility is poor (in a turn for example) so that everyone can take the necessary measures. Why invest in these accessories?

To provide a secure environment for employees

Anti-collision systems are essential to harmonize movements in a factory, a storage warehouse or a loading dock in order to optimize the safety of workers. In addition, employees who work in a healthy and secure environment carry out their missions more calmly and are therefore more productive.

To avoid human losses

Industrial machines such as forklifts facilitate the work of workers in factories, on loading docks or in storage warehouses, but can also cause accidents of varying degrees of severity, and sometimes even fatal. Serious research on the subject dates back some time, but to give you an idea of magnitude, professionals have listed more than 4,000 industrial collisions between 1995 and 2000 and more than fifty victims die each year. The decline in headcount caused by human losses or convalescent leave can lead to a reduction in the company's overall productivity, which can have a big influence on turnover. Investing in an anti-collision system is therefore necessary to avoid human losses and to optimize the financial situation of the company.

To limit compensation expenses

Again, according to statistics between 1995 and 2000, the total compensation paid to victims of work accidents related to a forklift was estimated at more than 16 million dollars in 5 years in Quebec. In addition, there are the economic consequences of the drop in productivity caused by the absence of one or more workers as well as possible material damage. In some cases, it is even necessary to hire temporary workers. In short, a single tragedy can be costly for a company and sometimes results in the loss of an employee, which is why it is necessary to invest in an effective anti-collision system.
