Summary
In short
- A warehouse layout change review is a review used in KnowSafe that reviews a change to racking, aisles, pick faces or traffic routes before it is made. It is built against ISO 45001 cl.8.1.3 and forms part of the Warehouse and Dock Safety programme.
- Carried out by safety with warehouse. Layout changes made overnight to solve a capacity problem routinely create a traffic or height risk nobody assessed.
- The template holds 43 fields across 4 sections.
- Scoring is reviews before change, where high is good.
- ISO 45001 is occupational health and safety management systems. The international standard for managing worker health and safety. Certifiable, and the backbone of most of this library.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links MOC, Traffic plan, Racking.

When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This review is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this review covers has occurred, or is about to
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Warehouse and Dock Safety programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links moc, traffic plan, racking
Not for
- Racking Inspection, which checks pallet racking for damage, overload and missing components against the damage classification in use.
- Racking Damage Report, which reports damage found on racking at any time, not only during inspection.
- Loading Dock Safety Check, which checks dock levellers, edge protection, lighting, restraints and pedestrian separation before and during loading.
- Anything outside KnowSafe, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
