Warehouses are a very risky working environment, contributing to a large percentage of accidents and injuries in Australia.
The operation of forklifts, trucks, working at heights on ladders and order pickers, surrounded by conveyors and other moving machinery and pallets incorrectly loaded and container unloading just to name a few of the many hazards confronting Australian warehouse and distribution centre workers every day.

Warehouse Safety Signs are very important, however having the correct safety sign in your warehouse is equally important.
What is a Warehouse Safety Sign?
A safety sign is one which gives a specific message to those who may be exposed to hazards in the workplace, they may be to prevent accidents, signify health hazards, indicate the location of emergency and safety equipment or to give guidance and instruction in an emergency situation.
The primary importance of displaying safety signs is to prevent injury and ensure visitors and staff alike are well aware of possible hazards and dangers in specific situations or environments. Safety Signs also provide the necessary direction in times of crisis which helps protect employees and property owners from legal difficulties if an accident was to occur.
Many dangers can often go unnoticed in your workplace or facility particularly with visitors and members of the public that may visit your site.
Industroquip Safety & Signage has a huge range of safety signs available to you to help create a safe, well identified workplace or facility.
