Safety boost
November 1st 2005 Flextronics Logistics has invested in Castell's drive-away prevention system, Salvo, to ensure high security, time-critical procedures at its supply and distribution hub in Ireland pose no threat to the wellbeing of warehouse staff.
The breaking of security seals on inbound trailers and application of such seals to outbound trailers has be witnessed by the driver and loading bay operative. Trailer doors must be opened a short distance from the edge of the bay, something that Salvo would normally prohibit.
A modification to Salvo's regular operating method saw the Susie lock, applied to the trailer's emergency airline coupling, interlocked with the dock leveller as well as the door. Drivers cannot depart while loading or unloading is taking place. More articles from Castell Safety International Ltd: |
