Warehouse Safety 101 - Vehicles in the workplace




Around the warehouse, moving vehicles need to be carefully managed to reduce the likelihood of accidents. Workplace traffic routes should be clearly distinguished from pedestrian routes so that the two are not likely to cross. HSE.co.uk suggest that the complete separation of the two routes should be considered in order to prevent injury from occurring. But the question is, how can this be achieved?

We have a variety of safety barriers and floor marking equipment available which can improve the separation between pedestrian and vehicle routes around the warehouse.

Safety barriers are constructed from heavy duty, tubular steel and can be mounted on the floor as the base plate comes with pre-drilled fixing holes. The barriers come in bright yellow and are therefore perfect for distinguishing between sections within a warehouse. Please see page 154 of the 'Solutions for the Warehouse' catalogue for more information on the broad range of safety barriers we can provide. Not got a catalogue?

If safety barriers are not for you, a quick solution for separating traffic routes lies with PROLine Tape. This self adhesive, floor marking tape is for internal surfaces and is ideal for demarcation of aisles, traffic ways and pedestrian routes. The tape can also be removed from most surfaces without leaving residue.
