How can you improve warehouse safety?

Safety is paramount in warehouses and other storage areas, as equipment and people movement can be risky in case of inattention or obstructed visibility. It is imperative to install protection systems and safety signage in your warehouse in order to reduce risks of accidents.
A lot of logistical and transportation travel happens in a warehouse. Pedestrians and vehicles are constantly circulating and come in contact with each other. The presence of machinery and various goods requires reinforcement of safety measures in order to reduce potential accidents, collisions, or falls.
Movements take place frequently between different areas of the warehouse, for example storage, shelving or production workshops. When moving from one area to another, visibility is reduced and can affect the safety of workers. The warehouse can then become a risk area. It is necessary to install and use protective equipment in order to protect your company’s people and workplace.

What actions should be implemented for optimal warehouse safety?

In order to ensure employee protection, SESA SYSTEMS offers equipment dedicated to the safety of pedestrians in warehouses and all other logistical spaces, both interior or exterior.
Security mirrors provide control and monitoring in multiple directions. They ensure safety in the surrounding environment thanks to their wide field of vision. Mirrors can be attached anywhere in the warehouse. They secure the location requiring greater vigilance. They can be used for pedestrian safety and also for the protection of any transportation equipment.
Different zones within your warehouse or other facility must be clearly identified and delimited for traffic or pedestrians. Pedestrian protection barriers or traffic barriers provide optimal protection. These standard barriers increase visibility for all workers in industrial risk areas. In addition, their material is anti-shock: it absorbs collisions. This protective equipment secures all high traffic areas.
Guide posts with straps or markers make it possible to delimit a specific area in the warehouse. They improve risk prevention or security and prevent falls.

How can you protect your warehouse shelving?

These protection systems (safety barriers, mirrors, etc.) protect both personnel and the infrastructure. In addition, it is possible to install shelving base protections or anti-collision posts and barriers. These products make it possible to avoid or limit the repair costs associated with accidents to vehicles, machines or goods.
