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.

I am working in Cake and Bakery unit, people will consume, but how the product will get cater to customer point directly.

How to Find a Transporter

 How to find a Transporter ? To find a proper transporter is difficult  To evaluate the same To get competitive rate . So what's the solution. The solution is bidding or auction . Auction is a process where a IT provider will provide a platform, ask the IT provider to get transporters. A experience provider already had a pool for the same work done previously, just ask for the service. Ask the provider to arrange a auction and bring vendor. With 1 hr auction a comparative rate with vendor details will be received. Think differently.
