Keeping Walkways and Exits Clear

The holiday season increases activity for factories and warehouses, with increased deliveries, vacation schedules, and year-end deadlines. Amid the rush, it’s crucial to prioritize safety by ensuring all walkways and exit routes are clear. A well-organized workplace reduces risks and ensures everyone can work efficiently and safely.
Here are a few tips to assist with safety around this subject:
Stay Organized During Peak Times
Keep storage areas and workspaces orderly to prevent items from spilling into walkways. Establish designated zones for holiday shipments to avoid clutter and maintain clear access to essential paths.
Inspect Regularly
Conduct daily walk-throughs to identify and address obstructions in aisles, doorways, or exit routes. Make it part of your routine to catch issues before they become hazards.
Communicate Expectations
Remind staff about the importance of clear walkways, especially during high-traffic periods. Use signage or team meetings to reinforce policies and encourage accountability.
Use Markings to Define Safe Zones

Apply durable floor tape or markings to define walkways, loading zones, and storage areas clearly. This visual guidance helps employees stay aware of boundaries and keeps pathways open.
Prepare for Emergencies
Test and inspect all emergency exit routes and lighting regularly. Ensure pathways remain free of obstacles so employees can evacuate quickly and safely if needed.
As always - be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.
A little proactive effort goes a long way in creating a safer, more efficient work environment, especially during the busy holiday season. Clear walkways not only protect employees but also help your operation stay compliant with safety regulations.
