Effectively running your warehouse allows you to get the most out of your business, making it vital to your bottom line. Line striping is an investment not only in your company but your employees. Here are just four benefits of floor striping.
Safety
The stripes on our roads and highways help keep drivers safe, and the line striping in your warehouse can do the same for your employees and even visitors. You can mark off dangerous areas, create pathways for walking or using lifts, establish direction, and more. If there are old markings that are hard to interpret or were left behind and different markings were made, the confusion can lead to injuries. Removing them before applying new striping is essential.
Organization
Even small warehouses can benefit from a more organized layout. Striping provides a visual format that’s easy to follow, even for new employees or visitors. Organization increases efficiency, and there are many methods to designing the most functional layout of your space. Before deciding on striping, you may want to discuss the arrangement with warehouse managers and other essential team members to determine what would work best for everyone.
Industry Regulations
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, has regulations to ensure the safety of employees. Some industries also have their own standards. Warehouse striping makes sure you are following those regulations and standards to stay compliant.
Aesthetics
Is your warehouse looking a little dull, and you want to freshen it up? Paint can do wonders, and commercial-grade warehouse striping is just one part of that. Storage, offices, forklifts, and other items within your warehouse can be freshened up with a little investment, providing a more professional appearance for potential customers or partners.
