Storage - What are the risks?
When planning to store cargo, it is important to clarify the requirements from a technical point of view. To do this, we clarify the following points:
- Identify the risks
- Analyze their probability
- Anticipate potential causes
- Determine the solution that matches your project
Unfortunately, risk 0 does not exist, however, we can anticipate potential friction. Moreover, we advise you to be wary of any agent who tells you otherwise. Even though anticipation is king in this area, there are always "force majeure" that we cannot control.
Types of possible risks in a warehouse

- Work accident that can impact your products
