Draw the Zone on the Real Frame: A Guide to Your First Twenty Zones
The rule follows the zone, and the zone is drawn by the person who knows the site. Here is how we run the two-hour zone workshop on every pilot.
Start with the exits
Every pilot starts with the emergency exits, because blocked exits are the clearest, most expensive and most measurable problem on most sites. Draw a zone on the floor in front of each exit, set the type to Emergency exit and name the owner.
Then the routes
Vehicle routes, forklift routes and pedestrian walkways come next. Where you want separation measured, enter the width and length of the area in metres so distances are measured on the calibrated floor.
Five rules for good zones
- Draw on the floor. Never on glass, walls or racking faces.
- One rule per zone. If two rules apply, draw two zones.
- Keep it tight. The zone is the area the rule is about, not the whole camera.
- Name it like the site does. "Store Emergency Exit", not "Zone 7".
- Give it an owner. A supervisor, a subcontractor or the HSE team.
