Occupational safety factors in warehouse repair and maintenance

     In the industrial sector, occupational safety is a mandatory criterion—especially during warehouse repair—to prevent accidents, protect people and property, and maintain business operations.

     1. What happens if warehouse repair and maintenance don’t follow safety regulations?

     Warehouse maintenance is essential for sustaining operational efficiency and extending the building’s lifespan. However, this stage also comes with many risks, as workers must directly interact with deteriorating equipment such as:

• Working at heights: There’s a risk of falling due to slippery surfaces, improperly installed scaffolding, or lack of equipment like safety harnesses, anti-slip shoes, and proper anchoring systems.

• Electrical-related work: Electrical work can lead to shocks or fires if power is not properly shut off, procedures for isolation are incorrect, or protective gear like insulated gloves and voltage testers are not used.
• Chemical environments: Risks include burns, poisoning, or respiratory irritation when exposed to solvents, toxic gases, or corrosive materials if the correct protective mask, chemical-resistant gloves, and specialized safety clothing are not used.

     Because of these risks, every step must be strictly monitored to meet occupational safety standards.

     2. Personal protective equipment and safe construction procedures

     One of the most basic requirements in occupational safety is the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Items such as hard hats, safety harnesses, face shields, masks, gloves, and non-slip footwear must be fully provided and correctly used throughout the work process.

     At the same time, clear construction procedures should be established, including:

     1. Pre-construction surveys.

     2. Identifying and marking hazardous zones.

     3. Designate a person responsible for occupational safety directly at the worksite.

     Every operation must strictly follow the approved plan. This is not only a requirement from the contractor but also a mandatory part of safety regulations under Vietnam’s Labor Law.

     3. Training and supervision – essential conditions for ensuring safety

     A well-trained technical team in occupational safety significantly reduces workplace errors. A proper training system should include:

• Safe construction procedures: From operating machinery and lifting equipment to working at heights, in confined spaces, or handling electrical systems.
• Teamwork skills: Ensuring workers clearly understand their roles, communicate effectively, and respond in sync during emergencies.
• Real-life scenario training: Simulating common incidents (e.g., electrical shocks, high falls, chemical exposure) and providing first aid and emergency response instructions.

     Additionally, a dedicated on-site safety supervisor is essential to monitor, remind, and handle real-time issues to ensure full compliance with safety regulations.

     4. What is an emergency response procedure?

     Every project must have a rapid response plan for unexpected situations. This is a critical component of any occupational safety strategy, and should include:

• Evacuation maps, assembly points, and emergency exits: These should be communicated before starting warehouse repair or during regular safety training.

• Instructions for responding to electric shocks, fires, or chemical exposure: Emergencies can happen at any time. Every individual must be thoroughly trained and remember the response steps to minimize harm to people and property.
• Emergency contact list and basic first aid kits: To ensure proactive occupational safety, every warehouse repair or maintenance project should have complete emergency contacts and on-site medical kits.

     5. The benefits of choosing a contractor who prioritizes occupational safety

     When selecting a contractor, the decision should not be based solely on cost or schedule but also on occupational safety. Contractors who neglect safety may cause your business to face workforce loss, property damage, and legal risks.
