Oxford Plastics Takes to the Stage with Street Smart Safety Products

Market-leading UK manufacturer Oxford Plastic Systems is demonstrating a range of its innovative safety products at A+A, which takes place in Dusseldorf from 27th to 30th October 2015 and covers all aspects of safety and security in the workplace.

Oxford Plastics is achieving international recognition for its broad range of safety barriers and composite products, which help reduce accidents, trips and slips, making workplaces safer for both contractors and members of the public and reducing the risk of liability claims against companies.

Indeed, its road plates – which ensure the safety of contractors, pedestrians and vehicles during utility, cabling and maintenance projects – won an Innovation Award earlier this year. The company continues to innovate to reduce risk in the workplace at roadworks, building sites and events around the world.

Products on display at A+A, being held at Messe Dusseldorf, will include:
