Warehousing is among the hazardous industries due to high-powered vehicles and equipment running within proximity of each other. Warehouse protection should be the utmost priority to keep employees safe, ensure efficient operation, maximize productivity, and mitigate injury or damage. Additionally, a warehouse constitutes more people whose lives are always at risk. The study will establish safety management systems to be implemented in the warehouse.
Safety management system (SMS) is the logical, top-down organizational approach to controlling safety risk and guaranteeing the efficacy of protection hazard controls. It includes analytical techniques, practices, and strategies for managing safety risks.SMS introduces an evolutionary process in system safety and safety management. SMS is a structured process that obligates organizations to work safely with the same level of priority that other core business processes are managed.
The study’s objectives will be to identify and evaluate various hazards and risks that may occur in the warehouse. The paper will also establish the relationship that occurs among different processes in the warehouse. It includes the breakdown of machines, their impact, or the dangers it poses to people and the cause of the failure. Finally, the study will provide a well-structured risks threats for implementation.
The risks and hazards will be identified through trouble and operability study Via, a systematic review of a dynamic schedule, process, or operation to identify and evaluate concerns that could pose risks to staff or facilities. For analysis, FMECA will be used to create a sequence of connections between the possible breakdown of systems (Failure Modes), the impact of the work on the people and equipment(Effects), and the causes of the breakdown(Causes and Mechanisms). The analysis will provide an output of all possible risks and hazards and their mitigation strategies.
