Warehouse

Storage warehouses and distribution centres are busy places that need to be equipped with everything they need. Browse our wide range to help increase safety and efficiency and safety.

Warehouse flooring needs to be of the highest standards to meet the day to day demands of storing heavy items on racking and the movement of heavy machinery including forklifts and conveyor systems.

You should carefully consider the positioning of any floor identification system as well as the line marking solution, surface preparation and paint type to be used. Consideration should also be given to whether matting should be introduced to reduce the risk of slipping on potentially treacherous surfaces, or to provide fatigue-relief for standing operatives.


Regulations

Under the The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act (General Application) Regulations 2007 you are required to carry out a warehouse risk assessment and put measures in place to remove or severely reduce any risks that you have identified. Provide your employees with information about the risks and provide any necessary training.

Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) requires that all lifting equipment must be fit for purpose, appropriate for the task, suitably marked and, in many cases, subject to a statutory periodic thorough examination. All lifting equipment must be properly planned by a competent person, appropriate supervised and carried out in a safe manner.

Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 you must ensure that chemicals and dangerous substances are stored and handled in a way that minimises the risks and limits people's exposure to them.
