Plan pedestrian and forklift routes together. Check loading areas, racking, battery charging, machinery, PPE points, restricted zones, fire equipment, first aid and emergency exits from every normal approach.
Plan signs by area, not by pack
A fixed sign pack cannot reflect every building, activity or occupant. Walk the normal routes, record the message and position, then choose the material and size. Remove duplicated or outdated signs that create confusion.
Keep the schedule current
Recheck signs when the layout, use, staff, equipment or emergency plan changes. Replace damaged, faded or obstructed signs and explain unfamiliar messages.
