标准2025BSI近期发布可公开获取规范PAS 13，在工作场所环境下用于交通管理的安全护栏规程，该规程中包括安全护栏冲击回弹性的检测方法。
据英国健康与安全部统计，在涉及工作场所运输的事故中，每年大约50人死亡，超过5000人受伤。PAS 13概括了工作场所的现行良好交通管理程序，并为其中的安全护栏提供了标准。
车辆与行人的混行增加了潜在事故的风险，因此采取一些步骤去最小化相关风险是极为重要的。PAS 13为安全护栏的冲击回弹性、规格与位置给予了建议、为如何管理与工作场所内车辆相关的风险提供了指导、并为护栏冲击回弹性的检测明确了标准。
PAS的制定采用了协商一致性的过程，得到了许多专业机构的支持，例安联保险、英国工业用载重汽车协会、敦豪速递公司、英国健康与安全部、捷豹路虎、曼彻斯特大学及机械、航空航天与土木工程学院等等。
PAS 13强调了工作场所具有一个安全的交通管理系统的重要性，包括工作场所内车辆的到达、接收、卸货及转移的方法与程序。安全护栏用在车辆或机器与行人之间存在碰撞风险的地方，PAS 13对安全护栏同样适用，意在供那些选择合适安全护栏的相关人员使用，以保护个人、车辆及结构的安全。
BSI管理与恢复部负责人安妮.海斯（Anne Hayes）表示：“工作场所的安全不仅对企业及其员工是一个严肃问题，对在企业运营的地理环境中交互的公众来说也是个重要的问题。BSI新的规范为每一个关注健康与安全的人提供了有价值的指南，尤其针对有车辆移动或以人员、设备及关键结构的安全为重的场所。”
“每个工作场所都是不同的，有着不同的隐患和风险。合理地隔离车辆与人员，在这样一个精心设计与维护的工作场所内，事故也会减少。”
健康与安全部经理、采购专员、负责人、后勤经理、项目经理及场地安全负责人都将从PAS 13中受益。PAS 13还会吸引想应用运输管理程序的人，并对检测及衡量安全护栏性能的人们及安全护栏的制造商和批发商有利。
Standard for traffic safety barrier system published to help reduce workplace deaths and injuries
BSI, the business standards company, has published Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 13, Code of practice for safety barriers used in traffic management within workplace environments with test methods for safety barrier impact resilience.
According to Health and Safety Executive statistics approximately 50 people are killed each year, and more than 5,000 injured, in accidents involving workplace transport. PAS 13 outlines the current good practice traffic management procedures for a workplace and provides a standard for the safety barriers within them.
Mixing vehicles and pedestrians increases the risk of potential accidents, so it is imperative that steps are taken to minimize the associated risks. PAS 13 gives recommendations for impact resilience, dimensions and positions of safety barriers in the workplace; guidance on how to manage the risks associated with vehicles within the workplace; and specifies the criteria for testing the impact resilience of a barrier.
The PAS was developed using a collaborative consensus-based process with input from experts such as Allianz Insurance, British Industrial Truck Association, DHL, Health and Safety Executive, Jaguar Land Rover, The University of Manchester, and the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering, among others.
PAS 13 addresses the importance of a workplace having a safe system of traffic management, including methods and procedures for arrival, reception, unloading, and movement of vehicles within the workplace. It is applicable to safety barriers used where there is a risk of collision between workplace vehicles or machinery and pedestrians, and is intended to be used by those who are concerned with selecting the appropriate safety barrier for their workplace to protect personnel, vehicles and structures.
Anne Hayes, Head of Governance and Resilience at BSI, said: “Workplace safety is a serious matter not only for businesses and their employees, but also for the general public who may interact within the geographical environment where businesses operate. BSI’s new code of practice is a valuable guidance tool for any person with a health and safety focus, especially where moving vehicles or the protection of personnel, equipment and vital structures is concerned.
“Each workplace is unique and presents different hazards and risks. With a well-designed and maintained workplace with a reasonable segregation of vehicles and people, fewer workplace accidents are likely to arise.”
Health and safety managers, procurement specialists, directors, facility managers, project managers and site safety leaders will benefit from PAS 13. It will also likely be of interest to those who want to apply traffic management procedures and those who test and measure the performance of safety barriers will also benefit from PAS, and manufacturers and distributors of safety barriers.
