Three Ways to Increase Warehouse Safety

by Kristen White Blogger There are a few simple and cheap enhancements you can make to the warehouse to help increase safety for employees, customers and any individual walking around the floor. The first is clear signage that indicates areas of high voltage, hazardous materials (and washing stations), zones where hard hats are required and other features where special equipment or knowledge is required. Signs can be purchased from a reliable online vendor according to your business need and easily placed in the designated areas. They should be colorful, appropriately sized for the area and durable for this type of work environment.
 
Signage is useful but can also be easy to ignore or miss once an individual has grown too comfortable in the work area. This is why you need to buy Blinky lights wholesale so you can get a large quantity at an affordable price and install them in applicable locations around the installation. Research has shown that pulsating lights are attention-grabbing so when this relay is connected to static lights near signs, at the edge of special zones or attached to moving equipment, bystanders are more likely to notice what is going on around them. The primary difference between the Blinky options is the speed of the flash which is useful to indicate a ‘heads-up’ warning (slower flash) or an immediate attention display (faster blink) for more critical areas. Warehouses often use this feature on forklifts and other moving equipment, so they are quickly noticed and avoided.
 
Most industrial warehouses utilize forklifts to move pallets and other supplies around the location. The layout allows for movement in this machine so it can get in and out easily with or without a load in the front. It’s important that all operators are trained and certified in the operation of this equipment and that recommended safety standards are adhered to for accident prevention. When looking for forklift lights it’s a good idea to check industrial online supply vendors that specialize in this equipment so you can compare the top brands and prices before making a selection. 
 
There are different lights to choose from including those designed to warn bystanders the machine is in use, lights for illumination of the warehouse floor and even lights with sound connected as an added deterrent to keep people away. Blinky lights are available and easily installed with traditional static lights on routine forklift models with a warranty provided at purchase. Incorporating all three of these enhancements and other tips shows employees that your company is serious about safety and that it is everyone’s responsibility to maintain a safe and positive work environment.
 
Whether you are installing Blinky lights or looking for specialized forklift lighting, there is an inventory item to meet your business needs and increase safety at a small or large warehouse facility or industrial plant. Go online and check out the available options today to consider the right setup for your equipment and placement for individual lights and signs is.
