Optimizing the Safety of Internal Traffic Flows
Safety Consulting
Increasing Productivity Safely
Safety is a key productivity factor when forklift trucks and pedestrians are moving around in the same space. We have put together a structured range of safety consulting services that will help you and your occupational safety expert improve safety standards for your internal traffic operations.
Our safety advice is based on decades of experience in modern intralogistics and our innovative methods. Our specially trained experts provide a systematic, step-by-step analysis of potential hazards within warehouse and production areas. They develop bespoke recommendations with organizational and technical solutions for your specific requirements and support you with their implementation. Our safety consulting services allow you to significantly improve safety standards for your employees and trucks, and thereby increase efficiency and productivity in the long term. Investment in the recommended safety measures provides a rapid return. Tangible benefits can be realized in the first year.
Our Consulting Approach
1. Briefing
- We provide you with a detailed presentation of our safety consulting package and a comprehensive overview of the advisory services we offer.
- Working with you, your occupational safety expert, and your senior management team, we detail how your business could benefit from a safety consultation.
- The briefing is based on your specific situation and identifies areas where beneficial enhancements could be made.
2. Analysis
- Using a short questionnaire, we analyze your individual safety awareness and internal traffic safety requirements.
- A structured workshop enables us to identify and focus on the internal operational areas where potentially hazardous incidents could occur in internal traffic.
- As part of an on-site survey, we evaluate both planning documents (floor plans, pedestrian and mobile handling equipment routes) and the premises themselves.
- The analysis provides a complete overview of the safety situation, where pedestrian personnel and mobile equipment are working together in close proximity in the working environment.
3. Recommendation
- We provide comprehensive documentation of the workshop and the analysis results.
- Using the analysis results, we produce an extensive overview detailing possible actions and develop a recommendation customized to your specific situation.
- We present technical solutions as well as organizational and structural measures; that can enhance operational safety for mobile handling equipment operators, and pedestrian personnel.
4. Implementation
- To help you make a decision, we put together a quote in which we clearly itemize the costs for services from both Linde Material Handling and third-party providers.
- You decide which of the recommended measures you wish to implement.
- We then assist you in implementing the solutions you have chosen.
5. Evaluation
- After the recommended measures have been implemented, our safety experts are still available to provide assistance. They carry out an on-site evaluation with you to determine whether the implemented measures are successful.
- Depending on the result of this evaluation, they will discuss with you options for further optimizing safety.
- We document and provide copies of the on-site evaluation together with any further recommended actions that might need to be taken.
6. Assistance
- If required, our safety experts can continue to provide advice, e.g., if there are any changes to your requirements (new processes, expansions, etc.)
- This provides an on-going overview of the safety of the analyzed area. You can then effectively maintain the increased levels of safety and continue to enhance them using targeted measures.
