Pick Oldest Stock First Lift Correctly Sign in Manchester

from £26.82 ISO 7010 M001

The people picking heavy cases are the same people who need reminding about rotation. One sign covers both at the exact spot they bend down, so you are not asking them to read two separate notices on a crowded rack end.

About this product

Low down, where the lifting happens

Most picking injuries happen at floor level and at full stretch. People lifting look down and forward, so a sign mounted high above the racking misses them. Fix it at about chest height on the upright beside the heaviest lines, and on the wall above a goods-in pallet drop. That simple change in height is the difference between a sign people see and one they never notice.

A Cheetham Hill cash-and-carry in Manchester

Cheetham Hill, just north of the city centre, is home to many wholesalers selling cases of tins, drinks and rice sacks to shops and takeaways. Staff and trade customers lift heavy, dated goods all day. An A3 Foamex on each heavy-goods aisle reads from about 12 metres. An A4 vinyl on the side of the pallet truck parking spot catches staff as they start a pick. A covered loading door that lets in rain calls for Dibond.

The sign is a reminder, not training. Manual handling training and your risk assessment do the real work; this keeps the message visible after the course is forgotten. Our warehouse signs include separate rotation signs if you prefer one message per board.

What size should I order?

Pick a size people can read from where they will stand. As a cautious rule, using the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, allow roughly 1 metre of reading distance per 25 mm of sign height (measured on the shorter side). Check it against your own risk assessment.

SizeCan be read from about
A4 (210 × 297 mm)8 m
A3 (297 × 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)17 m

Good lighting stretches the reading distance; in dim spots, go a size up.

FAQs

Short answers on ordering pick oldest stock first lift correctly sign in manchester.

Is a combined sign better than two separate ones?

On a crowded rack end, yes, because one board gets read where two compete. Where space allows, separate signs give each message more room.

Can trade customers see it too?

It suits shared areas. A cash-and-carry floor in Greater Manchester often has public and staff lifting the same goods.

Which size for a pallet drop area?

A3 for an open bay, A4 for a wall right beside the drop.
