Safety in warehouses is a top priority for everyone, but particularly, for those in charge of operations and team wellbeing. Best practices and, above all, safety measures implemented to prevent accidents can significantly optimise this challenging task.
In this brief guide, we\u2019ll discuss various measures that can help make warehouses a safer space.
The team at Claitec <\/a>has extensive experience in improving safety in these environments. We have thoroughly studied the main safety issues faced by most companies and have developed practical solutions to address them.
Our goal with this guide is to share the experience we\u2019ve accumulated through general practical advices that you can then customise according to your needs.


Regularly Inspect your Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this might seem obvious, it\u2019s often overlooked in practice. Ensuring equipment is in good functioning order, and regularly inspected by an expert before use is vital for a safe environment. Forklifts, essential in industrial areas, should be equipped with active safety systems (discussed in the following points) and maintained in optimal conditions. If these vehicles aren\u2019t functioning properly, are damaged, or lack basic inspections, the probability of accidents rises exponentially.
Claitec’s Copilot driver assistance tool enables monitoring of forklift status before use. Its checklist feature regularly verifies whether the vehicle meets minimum requirements for safe operation. You can learn more about this system here:
https:\/\/claitec.com\/en\/copilot-mitigating-risks-through-forklift-control\/<\/a>
Likewise, any other devices in use should be checked for functionality. For example, if using tags, ensure they are adequately charged, or if a hazardous area system is installed, make sure it\u2019s reviewed by an expert.


Properly Mark Hazardous Zones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s crucial to note that not all systems operate the same way in risky areas. Each case must be carefully assessed by an expert before implementing the appropriate solution, as there are no universal solutions; each environment has unique characteristics. Claitec<\/a> customises each case to provide the best solution, considering all the factors we can anticipate with our experience in the field.
After assessing the specific situation, there are multiple solutions available for marking hazardous areas. Claitec\u2019s VAS system, for instance, alerts pedestrians and drivers by projecting visual signals on the floor. This solution is especially effective in areas with low visibility, high noise levels, or heavy traffic.
You can find out more about this solution here:

Our Crossing Guard safety system also warns of oncoming forklifts or pedestrians, using projections on the floor similar to the VAS system.

Install Control Systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another key warehouse safety measure is the implementation of access control and passage management devices. Certain areas require authorised personnel only – either due to the danger level involved or the need for specific training. Maintaining control over personnel and their access is essential to prevent unauthorised access to hazardous areas.
With the goal of preventing accidents in mind, it\u2019s also equally important to manage traffic in areas with continuous vehicle and pedestrian flow. Claitec<\/a> addresses issues stemming from these factors and offers solutions such as the PSG (Pedestrian Safety Gate) – a safety gate that blocks pedestrian access when it detects danger (such an approaching forklift), and it allows passage when it\u2019s safe.
By combining this gate with the AV-30 antenna, we can restrict access to unauthorised personnel in areas requiring specific authorisation.

Use Appropriate Equipment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing safety measures is futile if they aren\u2019t used properly. Although it may seem evident, we always emphasise that our solutions must be used correctly to ensure their effectiveness. For instance, pedestrians must carry their personal tags at all times; otherwise, they won\u2019t be identified by other safety systems.


Monitor Existing Systems.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we can enhance the effectiveness of previous measures by monitoring their usage and any incidents to take necessary actions for improvement. Centralised monitoring of all active systems not only prevents accidents but also saves time and boosts productivity.
Claitec\u2019s Safeyu platform provides comprehensive monitoring of all Claitec<\/a> systems, enabling real-time tracking and improved management. Safeyu is one of our latest solutions, delivering excellent results.

In conclusion, we have addressed some of the many aspects that can help improve safety in warehouses. There are many more, and at Claitec<\/a>, we will continue working to provide solutions and keep enhancing safety in workplace environments.
