Avoid Safety Hazards to Make Efficient Use of Material Handling Solutions

Material handling solutions from DJ Products are safe, ergonomically correct, and cost effective. Our battery powered “walk-behind” units make it possible for an operator to have increased control and maneuver with ease, even in the tightest spaces. You’ll find that our motorized carts and powered tugs are easier to control than traditional electric equipment such as fork trucks, walks, or motorized riding tugs. Take a look at our website to find the material handling solution that will work best for your business and keep in mind that our tugs, pushers and pullers can be customized to better suit your needs.

However, as much as our products can assist you in transporting raw materials and products, they cannot rid your workplace of potential safety hazards.

ComplianceandSafety.com offers tips to make sure that your equipment travels smoothly and your employees stay safe:

Fix or report torn carpeting, loose floorboards or tiles, or otherwise unstable surfaces.

Fix or report broken furniture, burnt-out light bulbs or other appliances, and other defective equipment.

Look out for frayed, torn, or otherwise damaged electrical cords, cables, etc.
Keep floors and walkways clear of cords; coil excess cables or use cable ties to keep them out of the way.

Remove obstructions in walkways and (especially) exits.
Safety signs and exit signs should be clearly marked and easily seen.

Never touch electrical switches, outlets, or plugs with wet hands.

Fix or report fire hazards; check the sprinkler system, renew batteries for smoke detectors, have fire extinguishers on-hand.
Use flame-retardant materials.
Label and safely store all combustible items and fluids.
