Following on from last week's Health & Safety infographic highlighting the various risks and injuries that can occur in warehouses and in workplaces in general, it seemed like a good time to write a post about how to combat incidents at work...
This safety video from Toyota Material Handling highlights the risks that fork lift truck drivers and pedestrians are faced with in busy, warehouse environments. Their new 'SpotMe' warehouse safety system uses sensors and flashing lights to warn other fork lift users or pedestrians that there is something emerging from around the corner - thus preventing any accidents from happening as awareness is greatly increased.

An interesting point that the video highlights is the amount of work-related accidents which occur annually across Europe...
- 6.9 million people suffered one or more work-related accidents in 2007.
- 450 million work days are lost each year due to accidents.
- Every 3.5 minutes a person dies in the European Union as a result of a work-related accident or an occupational disease.
In addition to SpotMe technology, there are other ways in which you can reduce accidents in the warehouse.
FLOOR GRAPHIC MARKERS
Floor graphic markers help to increase pedestrian awareness of fork lift routes through the warehouse. High visibility floor signs stating 'Attention Fork Lift Truck Area' or 'Attention Keep Aisles Clear' can be fixed to the floor and are designed to withstand everyday traffic in a warehouse.

TRAFFIC LINE BELT POSTS
Traffic line belt posts offers the flexible demarcation of public areas from traffic routes. The powder coated, Aluminium posts come in a bold red or yellow to ensure that they are noticed by both traffic and pedestrians.
TRAFFIC LINE - IMPACT PROTECTION RAILING SYSTEM
This extremely strong and versatile protective railing system is manufactured in structural steel and finished with yellow powder coating to make the railing visible to all.
