3 Key Ways
Driver Cages Make the Warehouse Safer
1. Monitor and Control Guest Access
2. Protect Visitors from Dangerous, Moving Machinery
3. Double as Employee Entrance and Emergency Exit
In any warehouse or distribution environment, it’s
critical to prevent injuries and accidents, protect
equipment, and make sure valuable inventory is
secure. When it comes to the shipping and receiving
area, security too often goes overlooked. Most busy
operations don’t have the time to monitor visitors,
delivery drivers, service providers, and others who
enter the warehouse—much less total strangers who
can enter through open doors in a bustling shipping
or receiving operation.
Neglecting to limit access to the facility invites
visitors of all types to wander around warehouse aisles, where they have access to inventory, tools, and
private areas. This also makes your employees less safe. Even if the visitor is a legitimate guest, you
should control his or her access to your facility.
What are some specific steps companies can take to make the warehouse safer?
When placed in shipping and receiving areas, driver cages can serve as secure waiting stations for
drivers and other facility visitors until they can be properly admitted. Here’s a look at 3 key benefits of
driver cages:
Allow visitors access to the building without allowing them access to a warehouse’s entire
inventory.
Help keep accidents at bay and prevent visitors from entering freely into forklift aisles or coming
in contact with other dangerous, moving machinery.
When installed with a full width push bar, can be used as a quick exit in an emergency situation.
