Safety is the #1 Focus
As warehouses become crowded, safety is sacrificed.
You certainly can’t afford that – both in terms of your employees’ wellbeing and the added costs.
The easiest way to improve safety is by reducing clutter and your warehouse floor is the best place to start.
The Importance of An Organized Space
Picture your warehouse. What’s on the floor? How are things organized?
The optimization of your warehouse is critical to both operational efficiency as well as workplace safety.
Mezzanines are a great way to increase your square footage by expanding vertically. Whether using this new space for inventory or equipment, a less crowded floor means more room to move around safely.
While it may seem that a mezzanine produces challenges (i.e. using staircases), our turnkey systems can include vertical reciprocating conveyors to transport materials both across the warehouse floor and/or between mezzanine floors.
Enhance Safety Features
Having a mezzanine floor for your warehouse allows you to add customizable upgrades to take your safety measures to the next level.
Mezzanines are built for industrial use. They can withstand rigorous wear and tear and can also be adapted to meet specific safety needs. Here are a few examples:
- OSHA and IBC-compliant four-inch toe kicks can be added around the base of the mezzanine floor to prevent items from rolling off the sides and potentially falling on workers or machines below.
- Handrails can be added around the perimeter of the mezzanine or installed on compliant staircases to keep items better contained.
- Partitions can be added to create “walls” around your mezzanine for added organization, as well as to better secure machinery.
- Guard rails can also be utilized to protect the structural components from forklifts and other material handling machinery.
