The use of physical objects to create aisleways and pedestrian pathways is a commonplace, especially in retail facilities. This can be done through the use of shelves, fixtures, and displays. Sometimes retail facilities will employ the use of elevated platforms to display merchandise. From a safety standpoint, this is an acceptable practice as long as the objects used to create the aisleway are always present. If an object is moved or is removed, proper guarding and/or warnings must be in place to protect the pedestrian.
