Expert Insights
Regular inspection and maintenance extend product life significantly. Document inspections and keep maintenance records — this protects your investment and demonstrates regulatory compliance during audits. Contact AbsorbentsOnline technical support for application-specific guidance.
Facility Protection Products in Action
Facility protection products are standard capital expenditures for every warehouse, distribution center, manufacturing plant, and commercial facility with vehicle traffic. OSHA general duty clause (Section 5(a)(1)) requires employers to provide a workplace free of recognized hazards — unprotected columns, corners, and pedestrian zones in vehicle traffic areas represent exactly the kind of hazards OSHA cites.
Column protectors are deployed on every exposed structural column in warehouse aisles, loading areas, and forklift traffic zones. A single facility may require 20-100+ column protectors depending on size. Purchased by warehouse managers, facility maintenance directors, and distribution center operations teams.
