Forklifts are crucial for the movement of goods in warehouses
up and down the country. Unfortunately, the goods aren’t the only thing they bring
into the warehouse. They also bring dirt and water from outside into the
warehouse, which can have a big impact on health and safety in the building. The
problem is usually exacerbated in inclement weather, but fortunately Forklift Mats are a simple solution.
Slips and falls are the most common work place accident and
many of these are caused by floors being slippery underfoot from liquids or
grease. The warehouse is a particularly hazardous place and so it is
particularly important to have this under control. We are very familiar with
controlling this issue in and around the main building entrances, but warehouse
entrances, where forklifts enter and exit throughout the day, are frequently
overlooked.
Forklift mats, work in the same way that a normal entrance
mat works at stopping dirt and water coming into your main foot traffic
entrances. Rather than wiping footwear, they scrape and wipe the wheels of a
forklift as it passes over the mat at the warehouse entrance. The dirt and
water is removed and kept on the mat, rather than being transported into the
warehouse.
The mats are extremely heavy duty to cope with the weight of
a loaded forklift. They can be fixed in place, to stop any movement of the
mats.
Forklift mats are a simple solution to a potentially major
safety issue. Please contact Mats4U on 0121 313 6748 or visit
