SoftWRAP Square Column Protectors

Product Details

Soft protection for square columns in work areas

Square structural and mezzanine columns can create contact hazards in busy production, assembly and logistics environments. Operatives often work close to these columns, especially near walkways, machinery, packing areas and manufacturing stations. When people clash with exposed columns, the risk of head, shoulder, arm or body contact increases. This is where SoftWRAP Square Column Protectors help protect people, property and process.

SoftWRAP Square Column Protection adds a soft physical protection layer around exposed square columns. The wrap-around design helps cushion personnel contact and makes the column more visible in the working area. This makes it suitable for locations where people move or work close to structural supports.

High tear resistant vinyl canvas and foam construction

Soft column protection needs to be visible, practical and suited to busy industrial environments. SoftWRAP uses high tear resistant yellow textured vinyl canvas with polyethylene-based medium density foam cores. This gives the product a soft contact surface and a practical outer finish for active facilities.

Brandsafe manufactures the product in the UK using high tear resistant HGV trailer polymer canvas. It is also water and weather proof. Because of this, it suits demanding internal environments and selected external or exposed applications where site conditions allow.

Wrap-around fitment for square columns

SoftWRAP Square Column Protection uses a simple wrap-around design for square columns. The protector wraps around the column and secures with a 50mm Velcro seam. This helps create a close fit without mechanical fixing into the column.

This makes installation quick and practical for active production, assembly and logistics areas. It also allows teams to fit the protector around existing square columns where rigid protection may not suit the application.

Standard heights and square column sizing

SoftWRAP Square Column Protection comes in 1100mm and 1800mm height options. The correct height depends on the type of machinery, pedestrian activity and contact risk within the working environment.

Standard options use a 350mm x 350mm width. For the best fit, contact our team with your full column measurements and site requirements. This should include the external column dimensions, surrounding obstructions and any fixing or access considerations. These details help us advise on the wrap, foam grade and final fit.

Bespoke foam grades and site-specific variations

Not every square column or working area is the same. Because of this, SoftWRAP Square Column Protection can use internal foam grades to suit specific applications. This helps the protector match the level of contact risk, working environment and required fit.

Bespoke variations can support different column sizes, unusual profiles, specific colours or non-standard protection heights. Our team can advise on the most suitable SoftWRAP configuration once you confirm the full column dimensions and application details.

Where SoftWRAP Square Column Protection is specified

SoftWRAP Square Column Protection suits square columns positioned close to pedestrian routes or operative work areas. Typical applications include production lines, assembly areas, packing benches, logistics facilities, manufacturing sites, warehouse walkways, machinery zones and high-traffic pedestrian areas.

It is especially useful where column contact is more likely to involve people rather than vehicles. It also suits areas where visual awareness and softer contact protection are more appropriate than rigid column guards or steel barriers.

Supporting compliance and duty of care

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of employees at work. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 also require employers to maintain workplaces, traffic routes and work areas in a condition that does not expose people to unnecessary risk.

SoftWRAP Square Column Protection provides a practical physical control measure for helping reduce contact risk around exposed square columns in operative work areas. For H&S managers, facilities managers, production managers, site operators and contractors, specifying soft column protection helps demonstrate a proactive approach to workplace hazard control and pedestrian safety. The result is more visible columns, reduced contact risk and safer movement across the site.
