Works Safety Gate (WSG)

With increased focus on worker safety across the UK road network, Asset VRS, in partnership with Balfour Beatty – Vinci JV, have developed the Works Safety Gate (WSG) to greatly reduce the danger faced by road workers when adjacent to works access points.

Developed with both the approved Varioguard and Zoneguard temporary vehicle restraint systems, the Asset WSG further raises the bar when considering the safety of road workers and the travelling public at the necessary works access points required within major road work schemes.

A typical 48 m length WSG installed at a works access point, can be opened manually by removing the securing pins at 8 m centres and separating the WSG into manually manageable lengths, providing access to works vehicles and subsequently closing using the same methodology maintaining a secure and safe environment at all times during the works.

Features

• No connections or transitions required – The design of the Asset WSG is such that it can be deployed against any vehicle restraint system with no connections or transitions required.
• High visibility – The highly visible red and white powder coated sections of the WSG clearly define the access points within the works presenting clear delineation for works vehicle drivers.
• Quick joints – The Asset WSG is unique in the fact that existing road worker professionals can be trained by Asset VRS instructors to operate the system safely and when necessary, which means that access to the work site can be arranged at short notice in a controlled and extremely safe manner.

  The Asset WSG is part of the unrivalled suite of products on offer from Asset VRS and, working independently of the installed VRS, are available in a multitude of lengths from 48 m to 168 m for any planned or existing works throughout the National Highways network.
