Responding to Health and Safety Challenges with Projected Safety Markings

The Project

Saica Flex are aware of how important warehouse personnel safety is, so protecting their employees from potential hazards in the workplace is a constant priority.

There was various traditional safety signage in place at their packaging warehouse in Wigan. This signage was some-what effective in reminding personnel the correct procedures to follow and of the safety precautions in place to protect their wellbeing, but Saica decided that a more effective signage solution would better suit the needs of their company and employees.

In such a busy environment, traditional safety markings can have limited durability, effecting their overall visibility and impact they have on protecting the wellbeing of personnel.

Traditional safety markings require regular maintenance and upkeep to stay visible and effective at maintaining personnel safety awareness. Over time traditional markings get worn down in areas of high traffic, are prone to damage from material handling equipment and the continuous upkeep needed can be costly.

The mix of material handling equipment being operated alongside personnel, without adequate safety signage, will increase the chance of incidents occurring.

With over 30% of fatalities a result of a collision with moving machinery or equipment – the impact of these incidents for businesses are huge and something every company wants to avoid.

Following a quick, efficient and easy online demonstration of our products, WSS were invited out to Saica Flex in Wigan to provide an on-site signage and safety survey to talk further about our solutions available and ensure they are suitable for Saica’s requirements.

The Result

The projection markings have greatly increased the effectiveness of the safety measures in place to protect personnel and increase awareness of hazards.

The new projections are bright, extremely visible and effective at capturing your attention, providing a reminder of the health and safety protocol in place at Saica Flex.

The safety marking projections are clearly visible to all, ensuring the correct safety procedures are followed by personnel and other visitors who are not native to a warehouse working environment.

Alongside an innovative way to improve personnel safety, Saica Flex now benefit from a reduction in costs for traditional safety marking maintenance, ensuring their health and safety implementations are an asset instead of a workplace safety and economic liability.

Saica Flex employees can now benefit from greater safety precautions and work with a reduced chance of injury, affirming Saica’s values of good safety practise.
