Factories and warehouses have numerous health and safety risks. If you fail to manage them, your business may face a number of different issues such as lost working days, injuries and in the worst case scenario, fatalities.
As an employer, you are legally required to implement and maintain procedures that minimise these risks. Safety measures must protect workers from factory and warehousing hazards and enable workers to carry out their jobs safely.
Maintaining good safety will not only ensure you are compliant with regulations, but also shows employees that you value their wellbeing. In turn this boosts motivation and increases trust in your capabilities as a employer.
Whether your staff use forklifts, tow tractors or pallet trucks, safety is essential to prevent impact or crush injuries. There are numerous procedures you can put in place in order to maintain vehicle and employee safety.
These procedures include:
Enforcing speed limits, Setting up mirrors to maximise visibility, Ensure drivers avoid reversing wherever possible, Organisation and clutter free aisles, Display safety notices, line marking and signs,
One safety procedure which is regularly overlooked or ignored is the regular inspection and maintenance of vehicles. Many employers and employees believe that annual inspections of vehicles are satisfactory to ensure their workplace equipment is safe for use. However, having this mentality will only lead to accident, injury or expensive repair / replacement costs.
Implementing daily inspections within your warehouse will improve safety and reduce maintenance costs. Spotting issues early enables replacement parts to be ordered whilst the equipment is still functional and the repair of said equipment to be completed during off-peak times.
Unscheduled equipment downtime has plenty of obvious costs. Costs such as lost revenue, reduced capacity, tighter profit margins and wasted product / materials, however you shouldn't overlook the hidden costs of equipment downtime, such as, Idled operators, overtime, express shipping or emergency call outs.
TakeAIM is a safety inspection and maintenance APP (free on both GooglePlay and App Store) which enables companies to complete inspections of absolutely ANY equipment type. Coupled with a web platform, TakeAIM provides analysis, visibility and insights to help companies manage workplace equipment. Each inspection is automatically sent to management via wifi (inspections can be completed without wifi - once connection is re-established) with the ability to attach photos or annotations to provide additional information on faults or advisories found.
The web platform also hosts a maintenance log which allows you to easily monitor the time taken to resolve issues, keep track of who is responsible and even keep a record of replacement parts ordered. Registering an account takes a minute, plus you'll have access to the system for 7 days completely free (no credit card details required). If you find TakeAIM useful and wish to stay with us after the 7 day free trial, the good news is that TakeAIM is a pay as you go system - there's no monthly contract and credit bundles start at an amazing £6.25 for 25 inspections.
