Enhancing Warehouse Safety

RubberForm® traffic calming products meet safety and sustainability goals at Amazon facilities

With tens of thousands of employees and delivery drivers operating in fast-paced distribution and fulfillment centers, Amazon faced an ongoing challenge: how to manage vehicle and pedestrian traffic flow to reduce the risk of workplace accidents. High-volume, mixed-use traffic zones—where employee vehicles, delivery vans coming in and out, tug carts, and personnel cross paths—posed a serious safety risk.

Amazon needed traffic-calming solutions that were durable enough for 24/7 heavy-duty use; quick to install with minimal disruption; made from sustainable materials and compliant with OSHA safety guidelines.

Amazon turned to RubberForm® Recycled Products, a U.S.-based eco-industrial manufacturer of high-performance safety solutions made from recycled rubber and recycled plastics. RubberForm® supplied Amazon with a range of traffic-calming devices—including speed cushions to slow down personal cars, delivery vans without disrupting emergency vehicle flow speed tables for broad, controlled traffic calming in high-pedestrian areas and speed humps and speed bumps for parking lots, warehouse interior and yard traffic control

These products were strategically installed across numerous Amazon warehouses and distribution centers throughout the United States, supporting the company’s safety-first culture.

The deployment of RubberForm® ‘s traffic calming devices delivered measurable safety and operational benefits.

They reduced vehicle speeds in critical pedestrian zones, parking lots, and loading dock areas and lowered risk of collisions between delivery vehicles, personal cars, warehouse equipment and personnel.

With safety a top priority, these calming devices improved employee safety compliance and traffic pattern consistency.

They extended product life cycle through durable, weather-resistant construction and aligned with Amazon’s sustainability impact through use of American-made, recycled materials

According to internal safety audits and third-party publications, Amazon’s facilities have seen fewer incidents and higher safety ratings following the implementation of these solutions.

Amazon selected RubberForm® for its proven track record with industrial plant safety, public safety, and parking lot safety products. The company’s

Made in USA commitment and use of American sourced recycled materials,  customizable, modular products, rapid delivery and installation support for its nationwide facilities were key factors for Amazon.

RubberForm®’s traffic calming products demonstrate how smart safety investments can mitigate risk and enhance workplace well-being, even in one of the most demanding logistics environments in the world.
