Our Bestsellers
Warehouse Equipment
First things first, don't let valuable storage space go to waste! Utilise high-bay shelving and pallet racking systems to maximise vertical space. In our assortment, you will find a wide range of industrial shelving units with adjustable shelves and weight capacities to suit your specific needs. Viking can also provide space-saving storage solutions like mobile shelving and cabinets to optimise every corner of your warehouse. Warehouses are prone to accidents, so ensure the safety of your employees by installing safety signs, hazard tape, and designate proper walkways. Viking provides warehouse floor marking solutions, as well as sturdy ladders or step stools you can trust.
Fire Safety & First Aid
Did you know that placing first aid kits in easily accessible locations can reduce response time by up to 75%? Ensure your warehouse is fully equipped with the necessary health and safety first aid kits and medical supplies, including bandages and plasters. Be prepared for any emergency by installing carbon monoxide and smoke alarms and placing fire extinguishers in visible locations. Plus, research shows that with clear signage and instructions placed throughout the warehouse, you can nearly halve the response time during emergencies. Make sure your employees have clear, visible instructions to follow during emergencies and know how to use the emergency kits effectively. Use display frames to prominently showcase this information throughout the warehouse, providing employees with a constant visual reminder.
Personal Protective Equipment
Comfortable workwear isn't just a luxury; it's crucial for reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders among your employees. Studies indicate that with effective personal protective equipment (PPE), workplace injuries can be cut by up to 70%. Equip your employees with the appropriate PPE based on the tasks they perform. This may include steel-toe boots, safety glasses, gloves, hard hats, and high-visibility vests. Proper workwear can also improve comfort and prevent injuries.
Cleaning & Hygiene
It’s crucial to always maintain clean and clutter-free floors to minimise tripping hazards. Use industrial vacuum cleaners to eliminate any debris or industrial scrubbers to remove grime or sticky substances from the floors. Be sure to stock up on cleaning supplies in bulk, such as essential surface cleaners in 5L containers, to be prepared for any kind of challenge. Strategically place waste bins throughout the warehouse to make waste disposal convenient. Remember, a hygienic warehouse not only enhances safety but also boosts overall productivity and morale of your employees.
Additionally, encourage employees to take regular breaks to rest, recharge, and avoid fatigue. This can lead to fewer errors and improved productivity. Remember, a happy and healthy workforce is a productive workforce.
By implementing these strategies, you can significantly optimise your warehouse space and streamline your storage operations. Viking is your one-stop shop for all your warehouse storage needs. We offer a wide range of industrial-grade shelving units, mobile storage solutions, personal protective equipment, safety and organisation supplies, first aid kits, and emergency equipment to help you create an efficient, productive, and employee-friendly warehouse environment.
