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.

  • 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.
