Occupational health and safety are key aspects in every industrial facility. One of the most important issues we face when designing the space is the appropriate separation of areas related to safety, helping or occupational hygiene. Appropriate zones, such as cleanliness corners, safety corners or first aid points are of great importance to ensure safe working conditions. It is important that these zones are perfectly visible, easily accessible to employees and determined in a clear way, for example through paths marked with one characteristic color. 

 

Safety corners

Security corners are specially designated places in the production hall or in the warehouse where information, rules and procedures for safe work are placed. Their presence affects many key operating parameters of the plant.

 

Increasing security awareness 

Security corners are a central place where employees can read information on safe work, emergency procedures, markings and other security issues. Thanks to this, employees gain more awareness of potential threats and ways of avoiding them.

Minimizing the risk of accidents 

Access to information and security guidelines helps to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries. Employees have the option of regularly familiarizing themselves with this information, which allows for more effective assimilation, and thus - compliance with security procedures.

Action in emergency 

Security corners contain instructions for the treatment in the event of sudden situations and tools needed for first aid, for example first aid kit, gloves, slices and AED. Employees have access to necessary information and equipment, which allows a quick and proper reaction in the event of threats.

 

First aid points

First aid points are a solution that we can use where we have a large space. While the health and safety corners are a minimalist solution, the installation of a first aid point allows you to separate the entire zone dedicated to safety and conduct in the event of accidents. 

 

Quick access to medical assistance 

First aid points are placed in easily accessible and strategic places, which allows you to react quickly in the event of a sudden need for medical assistance. This may be crucial for saving the life and health of the injured employee.

Increasing employee safety 

The presence of first aid points gives employees a sense of security - they know that if necessary, they have access to the necessary means and medical assistance.

Fulfillment of regulations and safety standards 

The presence of properly equipped first aid points is in line with the regulations and standards for safety at the workplace. The company meets legal requirements, and employees are sure that the company cares for their safety and health.

 

Cleanliness corners

Cleaning corners, if they do not relate directly, are a key part of 5S practice in industrial enterprises. These are specially designated places where the tools and means needed to clean and maintain order in the production hall or in the warehouse are stored. 

 

Organization and order 

Cleaning corners allow you to organize and concentrate cleaning tools in one place. Thanks to this, employees do not waste time searching for the necessary items, and the cleaning process becomes more effective.

Security 

A clean and orderly work space reduces the risk of stumbles, falls and other events related to inappropriate storage of tools or cleaning substances. Cleaning corners allow the proper distribution of these items, which in turn contributes to increasing the safety of employees.

Saving time 

Easily accessible cleaning tools allow faster and more efficient performance of tasks related to maintaining cleanliness. This, in turn, saves valuable time of employees, which can be used for more productive activities.

 

To sum up, the corners of cleanliness, safety corners and first aid points play a key role in industrial facilities. Their excellent visibility, easy access and designation of paths using appropriate colors allow employees to quickly locate and use elements related to health and safety and safety. The implementation of these zones contributes to increasing work safety, minimizing the risk of accidents and injuries, and building a security culture in an enterprise. It is an investment that benefits both employees and the entire organization.
