ENHANCING WAREHOUSE SAFETY WITH IAE
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
Warehouses and industrial sites are bustling hubs of activity where countless products are stored, sorted and shipped daily. With the ever-increasing demand for efficiency, it is crucial to prioritise safety measures in these environments.
One effective way to achieve this is by utilising warehouse fit-out products. These products not only optimise efficiency and enhance productivity but also contribute significantly to creating a safer working environment for employees.
Employees, contractors and visitors moving around a site on foot is unavoidable for most companies. To maximise their safety and prevent injury, the introduction of dedicated walkways, segregated from machinery movement areas, is a simple way to alleviate the chances of accidents. The X-Clamp barrier system is a value for money solution to introducing segregated walkways. Alternatively for areas of extensive traffic flow where machinery is moving frequently, combing an Armco Safety Barrier with pedestrian safety railings will greatly reduce the chance of accident or injury.
Preventing external people, such as delivery drivers, from wandering aimlessly around the warehouse whilst fork lift trucks are moving around is paramount for any company. Utilising loading bay protection products such as wheel guides and stops is a quick and simple way to provide clarity for your drivers. Supplied in pairs, wheelguides facilitate a safe and timely approach to loading bay doors, mitigating the need for personnel to aid the driver in his reversing manoeuvres.
Essential fit out products such as bollards, column protectors and barriers are all easy to install products that can enhance any warehouse space. Often purchased in yellow, these products are highly visible to employees, helping to significantly reduce the chances of a collision with them. Additionally, should a collision occur, the bollards, column protects and barriers will take the impact, helping to keep your infrastructure safe.
IAE’s Industrial Division can deliver on a large range of industrial fit out products.
