\"clean<\/figure>
\n

Cleanup<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When the workplace is clean it is safer and this is certainly true in a warehouse environment. If spills happen, make sure you clean them up straight away to avoid accidents. Wet loading surfaces can be the cause of many warehouse accidents. It could be a good idea to assign cleaning tasks to employees. This will ensure everyone is invested and has responsibility for maintaining a safe working environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"define<\/figure>
\n

Define Hazard Zones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is extremely important to create a well organised warehouse environment but this can be easily overlooked.  Use yellow caution tape or barriers to separate and define certain areas that are hazardous or dangerous. This ensures that special procedures and other hazardous tasks can be performed safely and without distraction. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"stay<\/figure>
\n

Stay Protected<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Personal protective equipment can make all the difference when it comes to performing a task safely. Safety gloves, hard hats, hi-vis jackets and other attire should be worn at all times.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"maintenance<\/figure>
\n

Maintenance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many workplace accidents are caused by faulty equipment so it’s essential you perform regular maintenance. It takes just a few minutes of daily maintenance to make a big impact on safety in the warehouse environment. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"create<\/figure>
\n

Create a Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Accidents can happen, so your workplace should always have an emergency plan ready. If not, get started today. This can include safety measures, fire evacuation procedures and CPR training. Be prepared because you never know when an emergency may strike.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"train<\/figure>
\n

Train Your Staff<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Are all of your warehouse staff fully trained and competent in their work? Many accidents are caused by improper use of warehouse machinery due to lack of effective training so make sure your staff are fully trained and confident to stay safe in the workplace.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
