Forklift & Pedestrian Interaction is the highest risk in your facility.

Most sites believe they are compliant because they have barriers, tape, or signage in place. But compliance does not equal safety. And safety does not equal flow efficiency.

Most Warehouse Traffic Risks are hidden in plain sight.

Pedestrian & forklift interaction is one of the highest risk factors in warehouse and manufacturing environments. Over time, layouts evolve, volumes increase, and temporary fixes become permanent.

Common issues include: blind corners and restricted visibility, poorly defined walkways, under utilised signage. Without a structured review, risk becomes normalised.

The Assessments

From first layout concepts to lasting behavioural change, we integrate barriers, visual systems, and expert advice into one complete approach, so your site can run safer without extra hassle for you.

What the Assessment Covers:

  • Pedestrian & Vehicle Segregation (Physical barriers, Crossing control, Access points)
  • Traffic Route Design (Flow logic, Congestion points)
  • Blind Spots & Visibility (Corners, Rack ends, Loading Bays)
  • Asset Protection (Columns, Conveyors, Walls, Machinery)
  • Behaviour & Compliance against current standards (Walkway usage, Crossing discipline)
  • Visual Communication (Signage, Wayfinding Clarity, SOP Usage)


How the Assessment works

What is a warehouse safety audit?

 A warehouse safety audit is a structured review of your facility to identify risks involving forklifts, pedestrians, racking, loading areas, walkways, signage, barriers and traffic routes. The aim is to highlight hazards, prioritise improvements and provide practical recommendations that improve safety, compliance and operational efficiency. 

What does Clarity usually assess during a warehouse safety audit?

Our audits typically review:

  • Forklift and pedestrian segregation
  • Vehicle traffic routes
  • Walkways and crossing points
  • Barrier suitability and placement
  • Loading bay safety
  • Signage and visual management
  • LED projector opportunities
  • Racking protection
  • Housekeeping and 5S standards
  • Visibility issues and blind spots
  • Near miss hotspots
  • Site-specific operational risks

Every audit is tailored to the site and its objectives.

How long does a warehouse safety audit take?

Most site assessments take between 2 hours and a full day depending on the size and complexity of the facility.

Following the assessment, we provide a prioritised action plan outlining recommended improvements.

Will we receive a report?

Yes.

Following the audit, you'll receive a summary of findings and recommendations. This can include photographs, marked-up layouts, improvement priorities and suggested solutions where appropriate.

Our goal is to provide practical actions rather than a lengthy report that sits unread.

Do I need to have an incident onsite before requesting a safety audit?

No.

Many organisations request audits proactively as part of continuous improvement, warehouse expansion projects, insurance requirements or preparation for future safety investments.

The best time to identify risks is before an incident occurs.

Can Clarity help us if we already know the problem?

Absolutely.

Some customers already know they need barriers, projectors, visual management improvements or traffic route changes.

In these situations, the audit helps validate the solution, identify any additional risks and ensure investment is targeted in the right areas.

Do you only recommend Clarity Safety products?

No.

Our first priority is understanding the risks and challenges on your site.

Where improvements are identified, we will recommend practical solutions that address the problem. These may include physical protection, visual management, projected safety signage, workplace organisation improvements or operational changes.

Can the audit help us build a business case for safety investments?

Yes.

Many customers need support gaining internal approval for safety projects.

Our recommendations can help demonstrate risk reduction, operational benefits and prioritised improvements, making it easier to secure budget and stakeholder buy-in.

How much does a warehouse safety audit cost?

The cost depends on the size of the site, travel requirements and scope of assessment.

We recommend a short discovery call so we can understand your facility and provide an appropriate quotation.
