Keep Your Team Safe With Warehouse Guard Rails
Warehouse guard rails protect the three most important things for your facility: your employees, the machinery they operate, and the products they handle. Forklift accidents can occur with alarming frequency without reliable safety barriers, and it’s crucial that you have the right equipment to keep your team safe.
How protected is your work area? It might have been a little while since your last accident, but that doesn’t mean everything will stay that way moving forward. Warehouse safety needs to be a priority for your facility, and Southwest Warehouse Solutions can provide the tools you need to prevent accidents.
Where Do Warehouses Need to Install Guard Rails?
Although some areas are certainly more prone to accidents than others, there are several specific spots that warrant reinforced safety measures. Warehouse and facility managers need to be mindful of high-volume storage areas and spots that incur heavier traffic than others.
Major areas that would benefit from installing guard rails include:
- Around in-plant offices and workstations
- Surrounding mezzanines
- Along pedestrian walkways
- Near machinery
- Bookends of warehouse rack aisles
- Adjacent to conveyor lines
- Shipping and packing areas
- High-volume picking areas
How Can Safety Barriers Improve My Workspace?
If you want to know if you should install safety guard rails, there’s only one question you have to answer: Do you work in a warehouse? If yes, then they’re a must. Between fall protection and keeping your forklift and other machinery in peak operating condition, there are plenty of ways that guard rails can help you operate more effectively.
Safety railings can keep your loading docks from incurring damage, help your employees move freely around the facility, and improve your overall workflow. Don’t let avoidable accidents be the reason you don’t reach your performance goals and KPIs. Put your warehouse in the best position possible to succeed, and make the safety of your space a priority.
