How Air Tube Systems enhance Health and Safety at Gatehouses

Heavy Goods Vehicle loading operations and deliveries to and from sites supplying raw materials represent significant "Health and Safety at Work" hazards and risks to both the HGV driver and gatehouse security personnel, especially when communicating and exchanging order documents or delivery notes.

Risks and issues may include...

AEROCOM Pneumatic Tube Security at a Gatehouse

• The driver not stopping the engine when leaving the vehicle

• The driver or security may have to walk across multiple busy access roads

• The road surface may be muddy and slippery

• There may be overhead loading activities

• Traffic flow and delivery/pickup turnover may be slowed down

These hazards and associated risks can be eliminated by simply installing a dedicated Aerocom Pneumatic Air Tube System link and intercom from the driver’s window of the truck directly to the gatehouse security office.
