Understanding Brandsafe’s Essential, Core and Plus Ranges

Introducing our new Impact Safety Tiers

Workplace safety varies significantly from one site to another, especially in environments where vehicles, machinery and people operate in close proximity. To make selecting the right protection easier, Brandsafe has introduced a clear three tier system, Essential, Core and Plus. Each category reflects a different level of performance, visibility and resilience, giving businesses a structured way to specify the exact protection their site requires without unnecessary cost.

Essential, cost effective protection for everyday environments

The Essential range has been created for businesses that need reliable protection and demarcation at a lower price point. These products are ideal for light duty applications, quieter sites and general traffic control where the primary requirement is to establish safe pedestrian walkways, mark out vehicle routes and introduce basic impact defence.

Essential products strike the balance between affordability and function. They help prevent common bumps and scuffs, while introducing the visual clarity that keeps staff and visitors moving safely through site. For new facilities, smaller warehouses or organisations seeking to improve safety standards without major investment, Essential is the ideal starting point.

In short, Essential gives businesses the fundamentals. Clear walkways, defined traffic routes and dependable everyday protection, all delivered at a low cost.

Core, dependable performance for busy industrial and logistics sites

The Core range builds on Essentials with increased strength, higher visibility and more durable materials designed for daily use in busier environments. This is the standard Brandsafe range recognised by many in the industry, offering the right level of protection for most warehouses, logistics hubs, production facilities and commercial sites.

Core products introduce a stronger visual presence, including the distinctive yellow and black colourways Brandsafe is known for. They withstand more frequent vehicle contact, deliver enhanced impact absorption and support ongoing operational efficiency by reducing downtime, repairs and maintenance.

For facilities with regular forklift traffic, tighter routes and a need for dependable impact resistance, Core represents the most balanced option. It offers a significant uplift in durability while still remaining cost efficient for multi site operations.

Plus, high performance solutions for the busiest and highest risk environments

For high traffic zones, heavy equipment areas and locations where impacts are more likely and potentially more severe, the Plus range provides maximum resilience. These products are engineered to handle increased energy loads, offering superior impact absorption and long term reliability.

Plus products often introduce additional safety features, such as reflective elements for improved visibility, thicker profiles, reinforced materials and enhanced shock absorbing properties. This makes them particularly suitable for high risk locations including loading bays, high speed forklift routes, automated areas and any zone where operational pressure is greatest.

Where the priority is maintaining the highest standard of protection possible, preventing costly collisions and ensuring uninterrupted operations, the Plus range is the recommended solution.

A classification system built for clarity, safety and long term value

The introduction of the Essential, Core and Plus tiers allows businesses to assess their site and match each area to the appropriate level of protection. Rather than over specifying or under protecting, this structure supports informed decisions that balance safety, budget and operational needs.

Whether you are upgrading a small workshop, managing a large scale warehouse or standardising safety products across multiple facilities, the three tier system helps simplify every stage of the process. From essential demarcation to advanced impact protection, Brandsafe ensures every site can access a clearly defined solution that is fit for purpose and built to last.
