Safe

1.Proper Safety Equipment
Safety always begins with every individual first
and one of the safest measures to prevent mishaps
is to wear the right safety equipment to protect
oneself. Hardhats and safety goggles prevent
bodily harm during mishaps. Apart from body
safety, warehouses need to implement safety
measures such as sprinkler systems and alarms in
case of fire. All emergency exits, emergency
tools and signages must be in place to
facilitate easy exit during a crisis. Staff must
be periodically briefed on how to act during an
emergency.

2. Clear Labelling of Hazard Zones
Every warehouse will have areas which can be
labelled as hazardous. It is imperative that
warehouses evaluate their workspaces and
identify such areas. If any dangerous machinery
is used it has to go into such a hazard
zone. Hazard zones have to be distinguished from
the rest by using proper signages that are easily
visible. Hazard zones must always be well
illuminated. Examples of signages Beware
Flammable materials Dangerous chemicals Hard
hat-only zones

3. Safe lifting methods
As far as operations go, warehouses need to use
forklifts or hydraulic dollies to lift heavy
goods and not rely on human labour. The
operators of machinery need to be well trained
and warehouses need to ensure that only a trained
operator is handling the machinery at all times.
If human labour force lifting is necessary then
warehouses need to ascertain that the labour is
well trained in the right methods of lifting so
that they avoid hurting themselves. Warehouse
Management Systems in Goa need to ensure that a
clear set of warehouse safety rules are
implemented in this regard.

5. Provide safety courses and training
Although warehouses often implement the best of
safety measures, the staff working in the
warehouse may not be aware of what they need to
do and not do in order to be safe. It is of
utmost importance that safety courses and the
right training is conducted for the workforce
periodically as it will help everyone to be
aware of what they need to do to be safe at all
times. Warehouse rules for employees must be put
in place which needs to be reviewed and updated
from time to time. A well informed and
well-prepared workforce is an asset to warehouse
solutions in India.
