Warehouse managers and security consultants understand the importance of prevention. Preventing costly accidents and theft can save a facility millions in repairs, legal fees, and lost inventory.

Warehouse managers have an obligation to protect the inventory, equipment, and employees within their facility. Internal theft at US distribution centers accounts for $16 billion in losses each year, while OSHA currently reports anywhere from 35,000 to 70,000 forklift related accidents at US job sites each year. Preventative measures such as secured entry solutions integrated with access control software at employee entrances used in tandem with protective bollards and forklift collision avoidance systems installed in high-risk areas have proven effective in mitigating these risks.
