Logistics Center and Warehouse Safety Guide
Logistics and warehouse safety requires strong recording and access control due to high vehicle movement, intense loading-depletion operations, different drivers, wheel shifts and high-value products.
How to plan warehouse security?
The facility surroundings, staff entrances, driver and visitors flow, loading doors, product areas, high-value stocks, returned/destroyed product sections and night shift should be considered as separate risk titles.
How should driver and vehicle inputs be managed?
The vehicle plate, the destination of arrival, the loading/deployment point and the authorized contact information must be verified accordingly; the rules of waiting and field movement must be clearly defined.
What is the most critical risk in loading and unloading areas?
Unauthorized access, incorrect vehicle/load pairing, uncontrolled in-field movement and lack of registration are highlighted. The security procedure must produce verification and recording without disrupting the operation flow.
What processes can private security support to reduce loss of property?
EGM considers duties to prevent loss of property and ensure property security as part of its protection and security service.
How should warehouse cameras be planned?
Measurement camera plan should be made for entrances, loading areas, high-value stock areas and high-event risk points; the camera should not be placed in the workplace privacy areas.
What operational information should be passed on during shift handover?
Waiting vehicles, open shipment, seal/delivery status, malfunctioning door-camera, suspicious events and temporary access permits must be transferred in registered form.
How is ISG coordinated with warehouse security?
Forklift, vehicle-to-way intersection, loading ramp and emergency access should be planned in coordination with the operation management so that security officer's task area and ISG measures do not collide.
