THE PRODUCT IN DETAIL
Systemically Increasing the Operational Safety of Internal Traffic
The Linde Safety Scan follows a clearly defined process. The Linde Safety Consultants work with you to define your goals – based on your requirements – and to identify potentially hazardous zones and develop measures and recommended actions for your specific business. Linde Safety Consultants will then assist in the implementation of these measures and the documentation of progress.
1. Briefing
- We will provide you with a detailed presentation of our Safety Scan system and a comprehensive overview of the advisory services we offer.
- By working with you, your occupational safety experts and your senior management team, we will detail how your business could benefit from a Safety Scan.
- The briefing is based on your specific situation and identifies areas where beneficial enhancements could be made.
2. Analysis
- Using a short questionnaire, we analyze your individual safety awareness and internal traffic safety requirements.
- A structured workshop enables us to identify and focus on the internal operational areas where potentially hazardous incidents could occur in internal traffic.
- As part of an on-site survey, we evaluate both planning documents (floor plans, pedestrian and mobile handling equipment routes) and the premises themselves.
- The analysis provides a complete overview of the safety situation, where pedestrian personnel and mobile equipment are working together in close proximity in the working environment.
3. Recommendation
- We provide comprehensive documentation of the workshop and the analysis results.
- Using the analysis results, we produce an extensive overview detailing possible actions and develop a recommendation customized to your specific situation.
- We present technical solutions as well as organizational and structural measures; that can enhance operational safety for mobile handling equipment operators, and pedestrian personnel.
4. Implementation
- To help you make a decision, we produce a quotation in which we clearly itemize the costs for services from both Linde and third-party providers.
- You decide which of the recommended measures you wish to implement.
- We then assist you in implementing the solutions you have chosen.
5. Evaluation
- After the recommended measures have been implemented, your Safety Consultant is still available to provide assistance. They carry out an on-site evaluation with you to determine whether the implemented measures are successful.
- Depending on the result of this evaluation, they will discuss with you options for further optimizing safety.
- We document and provide copies of the on-site evaluation together with any further recommended actions that might need to be taken
6. Assistance
- If required, our Safety Consultants can continue to provide advice, e.g., if there are any changes to your requirements (new processes, expansions, etc.).
- This provides an on-going overview of the safety of the analyzed area. You can then effectively maintain the increased levels of safety and continue to enhance them using targeted measures.
