Warehouse safety: use illuminated floor signs to avoid forklift/pedestrian collisions

Reduce the risk of accidents with innovative signage

In logistics and industrial environments, collisions between forklift trucks and pedestrians represent a major risk. Every year, a large number of serious or fatal accidents occur, putting the responsibility of companies and the safety of their employees at stake. To meet these challenges, an innovative and increasingly popular technology stands out: the projection of luminous panels on the ground.

What is a ground projection warning light?

This technology consists of projecting luminous pictograms (arrows, danger symbols, prohibitions, crosswalks, etc.) directly onto the ground using LED projectors. These visuals can be static or animated, instantly attracting attention, even in low light or noisy environments.

Concrete benefits for warehouse safety

1. Maximum visibility

Unlike conventional signs or floor tape, which wear out or are ignored, light projection always remains clean, sharp and visible, even in dusty or heavily used areas.

2. Reduced blind spots

Installed near intersections, racking exits or crossing areas, the projection alerts pedestrians to the approach of a forklift before they even see it, significantly reducing the risk of collision.

3. Dynamic, connected systems

Coupled with motion detectors or fleet management systems, projection can be activated only when a forklift passes, making the warning even more relevant and visible.

4. Easy installation and maintenance

LED floodlights are compact, robust and easy to install, often without major infrastructure modifications. What's more, their long service life and low energy consumption make them a durable, cost-effective solution.

An effective response to regulatory requirements

Legislation requires companies to ensure the safety of pedestrians in the workplace, notably by clearly signposting traffic lanes and danger zones. By adopting illuminated projection, you anticipate standards, improve your QHSE policy and reduce legal risks in the event of an accident.

Applications: crossing areas, loading bays, production workshops...

Light projections are particularly effective:

• At intersections between pedestrian and forklift lanes
• On loading docks to signal danger during maneuvers
• On entering/exiting areas with reduced visibility
• To guide pedestrians in defined areas

Floor-projecting warning lights are one of the most effective, modern ways of ensuring safety in industrial environments. They combine prevention, innovation and compliance, while sending out a strong message: your employees' safety is a priority.
