Current Solutions and Solutions Under
Trial
Vehicle – Pedestrian Segregation
Key factor in warehouse traffic management-
The most effective way to protect pedestrians is to eliminate traffic hazards. This can be
done by designing the layout of the workplace to eliminate interactions between
pedestrians and vehicles.
Where this is not possible, the risks must be minimised so far as is reasonably practicable.
This can be done by careful planning and controlling vehicle operations and pedestrian
movements at the workplace.
Vehicle – Pedestrian SegregationA-safe barriers
(Awaiting trial at AFT
5) Barriers provide
resistance to vehicle
impact on barrier and
offers better protection
for pedestrians along
designated walkways
Barriers installed in front of
the office doors which lead to
the warehouse in order to
protect staff from forklift
movement.
• Able to travel horizontally and vertically
• Can carry load of up to 6.8 tons
• Used to store ULDs and to drop and pick up at queue lanes
Automation
Manual and semi-automaticFully automatic – eliminating
the need for operators.
ETV (Elevating Transfer Vehicles)
Safety Devices & Technology
Enhancements for Motorised Equipment
Tractors are commonly used
for towing non-motorised
equipment
Factors affecting traffic safety in the warehouse – Vehicles/Motorised Equipment
Safety Devices & Technology
Tractor
Sensors beside the driver’s seat
to detect the presence of
operators. Tractors will
automatically cut off if neutral
gear is not engaged when
operator disembarks without
switching off the engine. This
prevents accidental runaways.
Operators are given personal
ibuttons which store their
training records through a
fleet management software
(iFleet).
Ibutton prevents authorised
usage of tractors. Operator
needs to tap the ibutton to the
receiver on the tractor before
being able to start the engine.
Speed limiter limits
speed to <30km/h
Safety Devices & Technology
Tractor
Root cause analysis on runaway non-motorised equipment
Proper Connection Improper Connection
� Tractor engine to cut off within 7 seconds
when tow hitch is not fully inserted
� Engine cut off only when in drive gear to
prevent engine cut-off when reversing to
connect tow pin
� When the engine is cut-off, operator will not
be able to restart until pin is fully inserted
Tractor Tow hitch sensor to cut engine off
when tow pin is not fully inserted
WSH Innovation Award for Logistic and Transport Sector – Gold Award*Patent (10201407738P) was awarded for this innovation
Safety Devices & Technology
Forklift
Speed limited to <12km/h
Reverse backing alarm
volume increased to
warn pedestrians and
other vehicles
Sensors installed below the operator
seat
�Audible alarm will sound when
operator leaves seat without
switching off the engine
�Forklift will not be able to more or
be operated
�Alarm will continue even when
operator returns to the seat
�Forklift gear will need to be reset
to neutral gear while operator is
seated
Safety Devices & Technology
Reverse Cameras, Sensors & Warning Lights
Provides operators with real time
guidance and information in
ensuring safe reversing to prevent
contact with other vehicles and
pedestrians.
LED Lights mounted on reach truck
• Visibility improved to alert personnel of an
approaching reach truck
• Projects a blue spot light, effective for areas
with curtains
• Connection is direct to the ignition
Safety Devices & Technology
ETV and vehicle crossings
ETV has to travel across the warehouse where there is an
intersection for motorised equipment to pass through.
Control measures:
� Boom barriers on both sides of the lane
� PIR sensors installed on the front and back of the ETV
� Proximity sensors linked to the ETV to automatically stop the
ETV and barriers to detect equipment that are passing
through midway
� Visual and audible warning devices
� Signage
� Demarcation – Stop Lines
A traffic light system is currently being installed to enhance the traffic management at the intersection.
Safety Devices & Technology
Convex Mirrors
Convex mirrors are placed at locations where there are
� blind spots
� Obscure intersections
� Complex crossings with plenty of forklift movement
� Cargo lifts
Traffic Calming Devices
Boom Barriers & Speed humps
Boom barriers and speed humps are used to bring traffic movement to
a momentary halt or reduce the speed of vehicles. For example, they
are placed at warehouse entrances/exits, pedestrian and vehicle
crossings, and intersections.
Clear road markings and signage used to alert vehicle operators on:
� Exclusion zones (No-go areas)
� Parking and no parking zones
� Speed limits
� Pedestrian crossings
� Vehicle crossings
� Blind corners
� Low height
� Other known hazards
Signage & Line Markings
Current
� Location Monitoring
� Operational status monitoring
� Engine status monitoring
� Equipment map / map reports
� KPI manager
� Speed monitoring
� Condition monitoring
� Impact monitoring
Other initiatives
Fleet Management Software
Enhancements under consideration
� Total Engine Control
� Remotely shutdown engine
� Automatic engine shutdown
� Prevent users from using equipment that requires maintenance
� Tracking of Equipment
� Vehicle health
� Vehicle usage analysis, running time, idling, fuel consumption
� Driver inputs
Use of software to design layout for traffic management
• AutoCad
Other initiatives
Software
Safe Work Procedures
� Safe work procedures to indicate the
requirements for safe operation of vehicles
and equipment including ‘Do’s and Don’ts of
equipment operation’
� They also include staging of equipment in the
warehouse and PPE requirements
Training
Training is important to equip staff with the
required knowledge and skills to work in a safe
manner. Drivers and operators are trained with
the model of vehicles they will operate.
� Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ)
Operate Forklift Course for new hires and
refresher training every three years
� Tractor Driving Course for designated drivers
and refresher training
� Business Unit specific safety training
� Cargo Safety Awareness training for
new hires and refresher training
includes topics such as safety for
pedestrians in the warehouse and
equipment operation.
PPE
�The mandatory personal protective
equipment for staff shall include company issued
1.Safety shoes
2.Reflective vests (Strap or full vest)3.Gloves
*Gloves must be worn when carrying out any
manual handling
�Safety shoes must be worn at all times when
carrying out work
�Safety shoes and reflective vest must be worn
before entering and at all times in the warehouse terminals
�Reflective vests must be worn in the night
when working at the landside
*Note: This includes forklift and tractor operators
