Imagine a motorway without traffic lanes, or the chaos of a bustling city street. What would happen without the visual guidance provided by signs, markers, pedestrian crossings, and traffic lights?
Now think about your busy warehouse. How can you avoid safety hazards, stagnation, time loss, and inefficiency?
Seton offers an extensive array of high-quality visual identification, safety, and storage solutions that allow warehouses to safeguard individuals, facilitating efficient on-time deliveries, and prevents damage to goods. Our solutions align safety and on-time delivery in a perfect partnership, offered by a worldwide expert in warehouse supplies.
Protect people
In the United Kingdom and European Union, warehouse & logistics is one of the sectors most interrupted by workplace accidents. Although improving, with 2212 accidents per 100 000 warehouse & logistics professionals, the industry still suffers the 2nd highest incidence rate for non-fatal accidents*, while also ranking 4th for fatal accidents in the European Union.

Ensure warehouse on-time delivery by prioritising accident prevention, the resulting loss in morale and time, absence from work, incomplete teams, reduced output, damage to equipment and goods, and increased repair costs, is also a major driver for on-time delivery.
1. Avoid on-site collisions
Understand your human and vehicle traffic flows and create a highly visual and safe circulation plan, both in- and outdoors, for lorries, forklifts and pedestrians. Seton can provide reliable floor tapes, paint, barriers, mirrors, lights and signs to prevent accidents on your warehouse workfloor, loading bays and parking lot.

Support efficient on-time delivery
To support efficient on-time delivery, clear instructions are vital. In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, where warehouses and logistics prioritise prompt order fulfillment, it is crucial to ensure timely deliveries of essential materials and goods.
However, unexpected delays such as misplaced items, accidents, equipment failures, or blocked access for priority deliveries can disrupt the delivery schedule. By utilising reliable and visually clear identification solutions, you can minimise these unforeseen events and maximise on-time delivery.
1. Efficient traffic management
Optimise and visually organise vehicle traffic lanes, both in- and outside your warehouse, to avoid unexpected delays. Seton can supply reliable floor marking solutions and loading bay identification to help avoid vehicle queues and collisions.
Discover our expert solutions:
2. 24/7 lean guidance
Visualise optimal warehouse workflows and organisation, and highlight where specific tools and equipment can be found to avoid wasting time when time is precious. Seton offers reliable 5S and lean visuals, equipment and accessories.
Discover our expert solutions:
3. Avoid equipment failure
Failing equipment can thwart even the most carefully planned warehouse operations. Highlight when equipment inspections are due to not only avoid delays, but also to prevent considerable safety risks. Seton provides a full range of visuals and tools to support equipment inspections.

4. Clearly label racking
Finding a misplaced item in a warehouse is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Clearly label every spot on your racking to maximise the correct intake of goods, with a selection of reliable Seton racking identification solutions.
Discover our expert solutions:Training support
Combine your workplace signs, visualised traffic lanes and Lockout/Tagout with employee training to maximise their impact on people safety, on-time delivery and damaged parts per million. Just like road signs provide immediate insight to licensed drivers, our visual safety and identification solutions enable warehouse professionals to make informed split second decisions for their own safety and efficiency. Training, comparable to the training needed to fully comprehend road signalisation, can further amplify the effect of all visual communication solutions on workplace safety throughout your facilities.
Avoid damage to goods
Your warehouse potentially stores thousands if not millions of products and components. Protecting these, is protecting the lifeblood of your company, and the livelihoods of everyone involved.
Prevent vehicle and racking collisions, provide handling instructions for sensitive materials, separate high risk goods and stop spills before they spread to avoid damage to your main inventory, and to protect your DPPM (Defective / Damaged Parts Per Million) target.
1. Avoid vehicle collisions
Colliding forklifts are almost certain to cause damage to cargo, and can cause serious injury to both the drivers and anyone working in the vicinity. Organise and visualise traffic lanes with Seton’s reliable floor marking to avoid vehicle collisions.

2. Racking & impact protection
One of the most nightmarish scenarios in warehouses is a collapsing racking that topples the next one, and creates a domino-effect. Protect your racking with impact protection solutions to prevent damage to goods, a standstill in operations and serious safety risks.
Discover our expert solutions:
3. Isolate chemicals and batteries
Chemicals and batteries are not only a serious safety concern, they can also wreak havoc on your inventory. Store them safely in an isolated and ventilated space that allows access control, and use inert spill control solutions or spill containers to prevent leaks from reacting with other substances, or from reaching your main inventory.
Discover our expert solutions:
4. Clear and secure handling instructions
Damage to products can be minimised by adding clear handling instructions, and by properly closing packaging. Protection of heavy and valuable goods can be enhanced through use of lockable roll cages and tamper proof seals. Our labels, roll cages and tamper proof tags can reduce damaged or stolen parts per million.
Discover our expert solutions:Organise sustainability
Is your warehouse generating a sizable amount of waste? Easily sort waste in recyclable fractions using our wide range of waste bins and highly visual signs that capture attention. Save resources by alerting employees to turn off the lights in closed environments. Or use our removable and repositionable signage to reduce waste.
