WAREHOUSE SAFETY ASSESSMENT

YOU’RE BUSY WITH OPERATIONS. LET US HELP WITH SAFETY.

Yes, safety is everyone’s responsibility, but as a manager, the buck stops with you. You know that with fewer injuries, your company can be more productive and profitable, but it is a challenge to make the time. Safety assessments are a great place to start:

Accident Prevention

By proactively addressing potential hazards and risks in your facility, you can prevent accidents, injuries and product damage. This improves the safety of your facility and most importantly, protects your employees and visitors.

Compliance

Some facilities, like warehouses, are subject to safety regulations and standards. Safety assessments ensure that your facility complies with OSHA regulations. Compliance not only helps avoid penalties and legal issues, but also demonstrates your commitment to a safe work environment.

Enhance Operational Efficiency

Safety assessments often involve evaluating workflows, equipment usage and material handling processes. By streamlining processes and potential bottlenecks, you can optimize operations for increased productivity and cost savings.

Reduce Insurance Premiums

Insurance providers often offer reduced rates to businesses that demonstrate a commitment to safety and have robust safety policies and procedures.

Improve Employee Productivity

When employees feel secure and supported, they are more likely to be engaged, productive and committed to their work. By prioritizing safety, you show your employees that their well-being is a top priority, leading to increased job satisfaction and retention.

When thinking about safety, don’t forget about your racking.

Rack systems are high performance structures, but they often get bumped by equipment, modified as needs change and even exposed to excessive product loads. You need a plan for proactively assessing rack for possible damage and executing repairs.

These assessments should be done by a professional trained to identify potential concerns – Riekes is here to help!
