Job description

Role & responsibilities

Operational & Dock Safety

Dock Safety Management: Enforce Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the loading/unloading area. Ensure

vehicle chocks, dock levelers, and bumpers are used correctly to prevent "trailer creep" or accidental falls.

Traffic Management: Define and monitor pedestrian-free zones at the dock. Manage the "Green Zone" for driver

waiting areas and ensure zero-overlap between MHE (Material Handling Equipment) and personnel.

Permit to Work (PTW) System: Act as the sole 'Issuing Authority' for all high-risk activities. No third-party or

internal work (Hot Work, Height Work, Confined Space, or Heavy Maintenance) is to commence without a signed

PTW.

Electrical Safety & LOTO (Lockout-Tagout)

LOTO Implementation: Establish and enforce a strict Lockout-Tagout-Tryout (LOTOTO) protocol for all conveyor

maintenance, battery charging stations, and electrical panels.

Electrical Audits: Conduct monthly inspections of MHE charging points (Lithium-ion/Lead-acid) to prevent thermal

runaway or fire hazards. Ensure all DBs (Distribution Boards) are locked and rubber mats are in place as per Indian

Electricity Rules.

3

Rack Integrity & Structural Compliance

Stability Certificates: Coordinate with DISH-approved structural engineers to obtain and renew Building/Rack

Stability Certificates as per the Factories Act, 1948.

Rack Load Management: Ensure every rack has a visible Load Application and Rack Configuration (LARC) sign.

Daily Rack Checks: Inspect for "buckled" uprights or missing safety pins. Mark damaged racks with "Red Tags" for

immediate isolation.

4

Induction & Training Programs

New Employee Safety Induction: Conduct a mandatory safety orientation for all new joiners (Pickers, Packers,

DEs) covering fire exits, PPE usage, and emergency assembly points.

Visitor Induction: Manage the "Gate Entry" safety protocol. Every visitor must undergo a 5-minute safety briefing

and wear a "Visitor" high-vis vest before entering the warehouse floor.

Manual Handling Training: Provide specialized training on "Safe Lifting" to reduce ergonomic injuries during the

fast picking of grocery crates.
