Recognising the value of employee safety and the wider costs of workplace accidents such systems are often evaluated as being cost-neutral or cost-beneficial over the medium and long term of this equipment.<\/p><p>To ensure such a healthy productivity outcome as well means looking at the big picture. Assessing both the safety engineering and ongoing productivity requirements is crucial \u2013 especially for our work retrofitting systems.<\/p><p>Here one of the biggest elements of any distribution centre is also one of its most challenging: everyday human behaviour. When we design a safety system we have to make sure it doesn\u2019t hinder productivity.<\/p><p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s important that throughput continues (or is increased) well after any safety system is introduced. If any additional steps are added to an existing set-up, employees may often attempt to find \u2018workarounds\u2019 to keep up with previous targets.<\/p><p>When this occurs the entire process becomes counter-productive.
