We are opening our first warehouse – what do we need from occupational safety and fire protection?

We are opening our first warehouse, what do we need from occupational safety and fire protection? When opening a warehouse, it is important to know whether you are entering an already existing warehouse or if the warehouse is newly built just for your business / commodity assortment? Clients don't ask this question often enough. In practice, we from the industry often get information about this moment when the client has already entered the warehouse, and perhaps due to the condition and incompatibility of the warehouse with his needs, he should not have entered it. from entering the already existing warehouse, it is important to initially determine whether the project corresponds to your business, i.e. the assortment of goods that you intend to store inside, especially from the aspect of fire protection, because any modifications / reconstructions that you will have to undertake to comply with this area may not be financially profitable. Believe me, it's not the same if you store steel pipes, brick or rubber, paints and varnishes.

What to do in case of an injury at work?

There was an injury at work - what should I do? What does safety at work say about this? Honestly, this is the worst question we can get. Not because we don't know the answer to it, but because it usually means that someone has failed somewhere. It's either us, or the employer, or I'm an employee because in the event of work injuries we can rarely talk about an accident; Most often someone made a mistake somewhere. Admittedly, sometimes an injury can be caused by force majeure or unlawful conduct by a third party, so it is not always the employer or worker's fault.
