"The funny thing about accidents, even though I always like to blame someone specific, it's not always accountable to human error. Before HCR, our doorways were always a safety threat due to slippery ice and poor visibility."
"I don't know how one can accurately measure what a wide open doorway is worth, but when it comes to safety, and driver's can see clearly between the rooms, it surely does reduce the number of accidents -- and the subsequent safety costs."

It's impossible to accurately measure the cost savings on improved safety. The only real measure for your facility is the costs due to accident and workman's compensation claims.
Totally open doorways mean maximum visibility. Reduced ice around the doorways reduces potential vehicle accidents and pedestrian injuries.
In addition to reducing personal injuries, HCR reduces the probability of doorway bottlenecks during peak traffic hours, and subsequently eliminates sliding forklifts which can damage doors, equipment, and products. Even employee morale is significantly improved when you create an open, free-flowing environment.
