Safety regulations in logistics

editor2 • Sep 29, 2021

Every company has to comply the safety regulations in logistics and in each of the production processes. It is mandatory that the risks are foreseen and controlled to the maximum. In this way it is possible to avoid any type of accident.

On several occasions we have heard that companies that are dedicated to the logistics area have low risks. This assessment is erroneous, since its actions are not framed only in the mere transport of goods, but goes further.

The activity of the companies that provide logistics services also includes the supply of supplies and fuel, storage and distribution. These tasks show that not only are there risks in transport, but that there are risks in the production process as such.

The main safety regulations in logistics

Safety regulations in logistics must be fully complied with. This should be the case regardless of the type of transport that has been chosen for the

mobilization and the contracted company. Among the most outstanding standards we find:

Facility security

The buildings where transport, supply and distribution logistics activities are carried out must have emergency exits. These must be free of obstacles that prevent a sudden and unforeseen evacuation.

The internal corridors of the company have to be wide to allow the optimal movement of people and goods. It is pertinent to have an exclusive area for pedestrians that does not interfere with the merchandise transport area.

The lighting

Places where both materials and people are constantly moving should be fully illuminated. Dark sites do not offer safety standards in logistics . In fact, these can become serious inconveniences for the handling of goods and services.

The lack of lighting will make it possible that, when unloading goods, workers are put at risk. Likewise, the products can be easily stolen without their absence being noticed by the security personnel of the establishment.

Ventilation system

On the other hand, the merchandise must be under adequate ventilation. This allows it not to deteriorate if it is perishable products, but does not require refrigeration. This standard also benefits each and every one of the company’s workers who need an optimal environment for their work.

A ventilation system that meets the demands and protocols of occupational safety will bring significant benefits to the company. To promote excellent security in logistics , you must have professionals in the field who fully handle all work processes.

Review of materials and machinery

Nevertheless, logistics security supervisors must review merchandise and machinery. The operators will be in charge of the transport, obeying the safety indications.

If an exhaustive and detailed review is carried out, the optimization of the production processes will be achieved. However, if this requirement is not met, it is logical to think that problems will arise due to the lack of industrial safety conditions.

Measures that work in favor of security in logistics

Among the most common risks that arise in relation to logistics security are the theft of transport and goods. Therefore, it is necessary to indicate some measures for the protection of the process. They are:

Measures Actions
      The protection The transports that provide services in logistics must inevitably have the corresponding vehicle civil liability insurance. Likewise, insurance is necessary to protect lives and goods. This must protect the damages caused to third parties.
  Easy location Security in logistics needs constant monitoring of the transport fleet; this in order to carry out an effective surveillance of vehicles and goods.

Safety in logistics: a priority

When taking the forecast in terms of security in logistics , it is essential to opt for an accurate advice with the experts in the field. The guarantee that the transport and merchandise are duly protected in the production process must be placed in the hands of the specialists.

El mundo en este momento vive la emoción y alegría por recibir el Nuevo Año Chino, uno de los festivales más importantes del año de esta cultura oriental. Conocido originalmente como el Año Nuevo Lunar o el Festival de Primavera, se celebra al comienzo de la segunda luna después del solsticio de invierno de ahí donde proviene su nombre. Conocido particularmente como el Año del Dragón, debido a que los animales en el calendario chino son el perro, el cerdo, la rata, el buey, el tigre, el conejo, el dragón, la serpiente, el caballo, la oveja, el mono y el gallo. Sabemos que en el mundo occidental, muchas cuestiones y preguntas emergen cada inicio de año, relacionadas a los símbolos de esta tradición, es por eso que te compartimos algunos datos a saber sobre esta fiesta. Este 2024, marca el cambio del año del conejo de agua al año del dragón de madera, símbolo que rigió por última vez en 1964. Antes ocurrió en 1904 y así sucesivamente cada 60 años. El dragón es el quinto animal del zodíaco y en la cultura china representa buena suerte, fuerza, salud y el elemento masculino yang. Dentro de este periodo, se produce la mayor migración de personas en todo el mundo, ya que millones de personas viajan en las vísperas del Año Nuevo para pasar tiempo con la familia o los amigos. Desde el lado de los negocios el Año Nuevo Chino es una tradición que tiene un impacto en la economía local e internacional. Compradores y empresas deben llevar una planificación organizada y anticipada para hacerle frente al inicio del Año, ya que en los últimos años se ha visto una tendencia en que las operaciones acortan tiempos laborales. Esto provoca falta de disponibilidad de contenedores, retrasos en el transporte y aumento en los costos de envio gracias a esta temporada tan alta y de gran importancia para los países asiáticos. Además, las redes de transporte por carretera, ferroviario y aéreo también pasan a través de importantes retrasos debido al aumento del tráfico y la escasez de mano de obra. Sabemos que el tiempo es un recurso muy valioso y es clave para las relaciones entre proveedores y compradores. En tu caso, ¿qué medidas tomas ante los eventos y festividades como lo es el Año Nuevo Chino? Compártenos tus comentarios.
