        Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
    
        - Explain what a rebounding bollard is, and use a warehouse application example to illustrate how rebounding bollards function to decrease the damage caused by impacts, reducing injury and vehicle and structural damage.
         - Recall the financial, physical, and ecological advantages of specifying rebounding bollards over fixed bollards.
         - Outline several planning and design considerations to be taken into account in order to specify the appropriate bollard and placement for the given project, ensuring people and property are protected.
         - Use a case study to show how expense, cleanliness, and safety can be addressed by specifying steel-polymer column protectors instead of plastic column wraps.
