WAREHOUSE SAFETY



Warehouse is a place where the human and machine intervention is more.

Hand Pallet truck, Fork Lift, S tacker etc

The safety of the manpower is a great concern.

Case Study 1

1 truck getting loaded, driver sitting at the steering thought that the backside container door is closed, he just started the vehicle and inside 1 loader remain. The container doors are open, the door thrash near by vehicle and the doors slashed back. It has been found thumb finger of the worker got smashed by the door, he has been taken to hospital.

On the full scenario SOP of the warehouse need to get altered

SOP
  1. At the time of loading / unloading keys must be with security personnel
  2. Stopper must be at vehicles Tyre
  3. Double checking reqd with bay security personnel and loading supervisor


Case Study 2

Lift in the warehouse got stuck between 2nd & 3rd floor, 1 manpower travelling via goods lift got stuck, faulty lift suddenly fall, the worker has been taken to the hospital.

On the full scenario SOP of the warehouse need to get altered

SOP

  1. Lift doors should be automatic, sensor should be there, if any doors are open lift should not move.
  2. Proper training for lift operator
  3. No human travelling allowed on goods lift.

On the above 2 scenario , the SOP of a warehouse need to get altered.

In a warehouse incident like machine & man intervention with forklift accident, materials falling over workers are common.

From the starting of the warehouse need to develop a proper safety manual & SOP to avoid any such in future.

Lets took   example If it’s a daily route somewhat near to warehouse its better to use own or dedicated vehicle Good Service 24*7 availability Proper coordination If there is some return goods can be managed on same freight Points known so less chance in delay Only thing need to consider if paying on per km , need to calculate on variables ( Fuel Price Escalation , Maintenance etc ) But on the same scenario If it’s a far of place & frequency is less Up Down costing will be more Long distance time coordination will be a issue Frequency is less so liability will also be less. On any scenario need to calculate, but always if the service is own its better but on serviceability point not on cost always .
