Key areas of your warehouse to watch with VideoAudit to avoid costly claims:

• Bottleneck areas of high traffic and blind corners
• MHV lanes, particular junctions and crossings
• Pallet gates, mezzanine stairs and racks close to perimeter
• Loading bays and pedestrian walkways in HGV yards
• Entrances to rest areas leading out into vehicle lanes

By keeping these areas under observation, the true facts of an incident can be recorded to disprove negligence. The video footage should be kept in a secure storage file for future use, as injury claims can be lodged well after the usual recording period.

TOP TIP:

Retain footage of any seemingly minor H&S event in a long term file. Injuries that occur from a slip, trip or fall usually have a three-year time limit from the date of accident to making a compensation claim, and injuries where the person has lost the capacity to make a claim themselves have no time limit.

VideoAudit Surveillance systems offer a way of analysing near-miss events and making changes that help prevent more serious accidents later on. Using real footage of their errors has its own impact when training staff and is a non-negotiable basis for issue of warnings.
