How to Improve Your TRIR with High-Impact Protection Systems

Improve Your TRIR with High-Impact Protection Systems

In today’s industrial landscape, safety isn’t just about protecting your people—it’s about protecting your numbers.

If you're managing a warehouse, logistics center, or manufacturing facility, you know your Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) is one of the most scrutinized metrics during audits. A single forklift accident or rack collapse can damage more than equipment — it can hurt your compliance rating, your operational uptime, and even your reputation with clients.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were over 68,000 nonfatal forklift-related injuries in a recent year. Many of these incidents were avoidable with the right structural safeguards in place.

So, how do you lower your TRIR without slowing operations?

Barrier Systems: The Overlooked TRIR Solution

Most facilities rely on tape lines, old steel rails, or weak plastic bumpers for pedestrian separation and rack protection. But when it comes to preventing reportable incidents, those aren't enough.

At ENNAT, we specialize in high-impact protection systems designed to prevent the very accidents that affect your TRIR:

• Shock-absorbing rubber + steel hybrid barriers

• Modular designs for loading docks, aisles, and racking ends

• Flexible systems that deform on impact and return to position

These features help prevent the kind of workplace accidents that typically trigger OSHA reporting:

• Forklift-pedestrian collisions

• Pallet rack leg impacts

• Aisle end crashes due to tight turns or blind spots

When you eliminate these risks structurally, not behaviorally, your incident rate drops—and it shows in your audit score.

How ENNAT Helps You Control Your TRIR

Our clients have seen up to 60% fewer collision-related safety reports after installing ENNAT systems. That means:

• Fewer workers' comp cases

• Lower insurance claims

• Better internal safety ratings

• Easier compliance audits

  
  

And unlike other safety equipment, ENNAT’s rubber barrier cores flex under impact—preventing damage to forklifts, floors, and people.

3 Proven Ways to Lower Your TRIR with ENNAT:

1. Protect Aisle Ends with Dual-Height Barriers

Prevent sharp-turn crashes, one of the most common TRIR-reportable incidents.

2. Create Pedestrian-Only Zones

Separate walkways using ENNAT gates and visual cues—your first line of defense against forklift strikes.

3. Reinforce Rack Legs with Shock-Absorbing Protectors

No more bent uprights, cascading loads, or emergency repairs.

Stop Reporting What You Can Prevent

High TRIR scores don’t just raise red flags—they impact insurance premiums, contract opportunities, and internal morale. ENNAT helps you control what gets reported by stopping incidents before they happen.
