It is, therefore, essential to ensure that all safety regulations are met before and during the operation of a warehouse.
How can BCarm help you manage your warehouse operations?
Risk Assessment
Carry out Risk assessments for the physical area, equipment in that area, processes and tasks undertaken, maintenance and repair activities etc.
Risk Assessments have suggested control measures, which you can tailor to your own needs.
Equally, you can add your own which then builds a library of control measures which can then be used in future Risk Assessments, helping maintain consistency.
Maintaining your Control Measures
Risk Assessment allow you to create proactive safety reporting regimes in between your annual Risk Assessment review. By proactively monitoring on a regular basis whether your control measures are operative or not, you’re identifying potential issues before they occur.
This will also give you a performance score, so it helps you manage performance over time and build Safety Performance KPI's.
Checklists
With editable templates and the ability to build your own, you can create a variety of controls that are instantly reportable in BCarm, such as: -
- Racking systems safety checklist
- Workplace transport route
- Forklift truck charging area
- Forklift truck daily inspection/takeover checklist
- Fire controls
Housekeeping Inspections
All the above also generate performance scores to set KPI’s, assess trends, manage performance and allow corrective action to be captured and assigned to individuals when completing the Checklist.
Safe Systems of Work
You can produce these for different aspects of your warehouse operations if required.
These can also be turned into Training Records with our Safety Briefings feature.
Asset Manager
