How do you put a traffic safety plan for your warehouse into practice?

The first step towards creating a safe workplace is a risk analysis. Once you have assessed all the risks, you can move on to a traffic safety plan. This type of traffic safety plan certainly comes in handy in a warehouse.
That is where most vehicles pass through, after all. The plan covers the various traffic flows and bottlenecks. Therefore, as an employer, you have got to draw up a detailed traffic safety plan.

Why is an internal traffic safety plan a must?

Anyone who works in a large warehouse will no doubt agree: safety within the workplace is crucial here. And that certainly applies to traffic safety. Too many accidents at work still happen every year. Forklift accidents are the most common. These kinds of accidents can easily be avoided with a well-thought-out traffic safety plan.

A warehouse traffic safety plan includes a number of basic principles such as traffic safety regulations, but also incorporates floor plans and traffic flow plans. It is an important guideline for avoiding dangerous situations. The basic rule for guaranteeing safety within the workplace, is to clearly separate traffic flows. That way, each traffic user, such as pedestrians, forklifts and freight traffic, has their own space to move around.

Floor marking tape

In order to put a traffic safety plan into practice, some visual elements need to be added. One simple way to do this is to lay out floor marking tape in the warehouse. By using marking tape, you can indicate a clear separation between pedestrians and vehicles. This will prevent collisions with a forklift and you also create a safer work space this way.
