Waste management firm Hills has installed an innovative new crossing system at its material recycling facility in Calne to bolster its excellent record on workplace safety.

The FHOSS illuminated safety walkway system uses a combination of traffic lights for vehicle drivers, illuminated markers for pedestrians, and electromagnetic gates to control the flow of mobile plant and pedestrian movement around the facility.

“Mitigating the risk to pedestrians across our industry is a priority safety issue and I commend all concerned for their innovative approach to managing this risk," said Paul Elling, compliance manager for Hills Waste Solutions.

"The installation of this crossing is a clear demonstration of our commitment to avoiding accidents by separating pedestrians from moving plant.”
