SAFETY INSPECTIONS

Warehouse Safety Inspections & Audits

Just as you follow tax guidelines from the IRS and compliance laws that relate to your business, it’s essential to follow the guidelines for general warehouse safety. A warehouse safety inspection will ensure you’re in keeping with the guidelines and let you know where you need to make improvements. This will mitigate risk and help you keep your business running smoothly, even in the case of natural disasters or other disruptions.

 

Are Warehouse Safety Audits Really That Important?

 

Warehouse safety audits take some time to schedule and prepare for. Once they’re completed, you may need to make changes and repairs to your warehouse. So it’s natural to wonder: are warehouse safety audits really that important?

 

Yes! Even if you believe your warehouse is in keeping with general warehouse safety guidelines, there could be some problems only an expert can spot. A safety audit will force you to go through a warehouse safety checklist or even prepare with a warehouse safety training course, which will help make your warehouse a safer environment.

 

Here are just a few dangerous problems that may be difficult to spot without a warehouse safety or conformity inspection.

 

  • Bent racking pallets
  • Blocked emergency exits
  • Electrical wiring hazards
  • Lack of fire safety equipment
  • Improper lockout processes
  • Hazardous
  • Poor handling of materials
