Fueled by a manufacturing economy that continues to recover from the impact of COVID-19 and the increase in online shopping, Mordor Intelligence expects the logistics industry in Canada to grow by a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of more than 2.5% from 2019 through 2024.

The first thing that usually comes to mind when citing safety statistics for commercial transportation is vehicular accidents on the highway. Such mishaps are unfortunate and can be tragic, but they are not the only part of the business where safety is a concern. The interior of warehouses and vehicle maintenance facilities also require attention and safety solutions in the logistics industry, notably for fall protection and impact protection.

Fast, efficient loading, unloading, and the processing of goods almost always involve a forklift. Driver safety training is critical; however, a facility equipped with compliant safety equipment is also essential.

Guardrails, bollards, and safety railing systems protect people, products, and the facility against forklift accidents by placing a barrier between the forklift and person, place, or thing.
