In our previous blog, 5 Safety Items Needed in the Warehouse, we highlighted the vital safety measures needed in fulfilment and logistics businesses.
In part two, we have listed 5 more products which need to be sourced carefully and consistently.
These are products that will make sure any warehouse runs efficiency and employees are kept safe.
The best safety products will help you to safeguard anyone working in or visiting your premises. They also help you to streamline your operations and keep efficiency high.
This relies on sourcing safety products that have been designed and manufactured by a company tuned into your everyday business needs and pressures.
Including Health and Safety obligations, some of which we discussed in Part one of this article.
Now, we explore additional warehouse safety products that make good business sense.
1. Labels and label holding solutions
There is no room for confusion in a high-pressured warehouse operation, where every second counts. The quicker that people and technology can locate items, the more efficiently and cleanly you operate. This makes the humble label a key element in creating well-orchestrated work areas.
Being able to pinpoint locations swiftly can be even more of a challenge because of complex warehouse layouts. Especially if you have a wide range of structures that automated technology and your workforce have to navigate around.
To help, we offer a diverse range of labels with different fixing options, like magnetic labels for warehouse shelving, self-adhesive pouches to hold key information and label holding strips to fix to multiple surface types.
The range means you adapt your labelling system to be highly readable and obvious, boosting productivity and safe workflow systems.
2. Crystal clear information boards – especially First Aid notice systems.
Efficient and easy to see labelling in warehouses is just the start of your workplace communication needs.
Another vital efficiency and safety measure is strategically placed information boards.
Our modular and versatile Modulean® Shadow Boards are ideal for this.
These cleverly conceived shadow boards get vital safety messages across unmissably, and physically hold the safety equipment you use daily.
This includes display boards to show First Aid information and kit, so you can respond as quickly as possible to an incident.
The shadow boards can be customised to hold your warehouse tools and messaging, or you can buy a ready-made First Aid Kit board, to erect in plain sight of your workforce.
3. Racking self-assessment charts
Even with all this safety care and control in your warehouse, you can’t take your eye off the ball at any point!
How can you make safety inspections and operational assessment tasks quicker and more responsive?
For all our reliance on tech in warehouses, there is still an important role for at-a-glance inspection data on racking mounted charts.
Our multi-fix racking assessment charts can be adapted to meet your business needs.
Robust and well laid out, they ensure that you can be transparent and clear in the ways you meet vital safety and productivity standards.
4. Pallet Topper
Physical chart boards are not the only timelessly reliable safety solutions we offer for commercial warehouse operations.
We also meet the business need for signs that mitigate against a wide range of workplace hazards.
This includes the fundamental messaging provided by a pallet topper!
Buying these pyramid-shaped warning signs for your warehouse enables you to flag up risks in a highly adaptive way.
This can prevent double stacking of pallets, with the potential that brings for product damage or H&S issues. They can even be easily integrated within the shrink wrap.
So simple, but an important warehouse safety product all the same!
5. Roll Cage Racksacks
Talking of safety fundamentals, managing waste materials effectively is as basic as it gets. Yet it’s central to protecting staff and staying H&S compliant. Has your commercial warehouse operations found the best way to collect and segregate workplace rubbish yet?
Many clients have found our Rollcage racksacks the best solution for waste management in warehouses. They can be moved to where they’re needed most. And the transparent pockets (which can be overprinted with your text) provide clarity and control over how materials are disposed of in a fast-paced work environment.
Intelligent warehouse safety
Many of our crucial safety products for efficient modern warehouses pivot on adaptability. They give you options. You can mix, match and add your message to many of them, to meet your regulatory obligations and business standards.
They also offer you ways to commission safety products which meet your productivity goals too.
You work safe, but you also work smart, when you order from our range!
