01
Map temperature zones and exposure
List chilled, frozen, ante-room, loading and ambient areas with the employer's operating ranges. State how long each role normally works in a zone, where warm-up breaks occur and how staff move between areas.
Identify roles fixed inside a zone separately from drivers, dock teams or workers who enter only for specific tasks.
02
Define product and handling flow
Describe receiving, put-away, replenishment, picking, staging, dispatch, returns and damaged-product tasks. Provide handling-unit sizes, labelling rules and any authorized rotation or traceability procedure.
Product-release, temperature acceptance and quality decisions should remain with the employer's authorized personnel.
- Receiving and staging
- Storage and replenishment
- Picking and dispatch
- Returns and quarantine boundary
03
Specify protective clothing and issue control
State the thermal clothing, gloves, footwear and other PPE required for each zone and who supplies, cleans, stores and replaces it. Include sizing, issue records and a process for wet or damaged equipment.
Standard warehouse clothing should not be assumed adequate for a low-temperature assignment.
04
Set equipment authorization
Identify pallet equipment, scanners, doors, dock controls and other devices used by each role. Separate pedestrian tasks from powered-equipment operation and state the employer verification and authorization required.
Workers should stop and report alarms, ice, damaged racking, door faults or equipment conditions outside their assigned response.
05
Plan shifts, breaks and emergency response
Provide shift length, exposure cycle, break location, meal arrangement and relief coverage. Explain door-release, buddy, communication and emergency procedures relevant to the site.
The employer's risk assessment and cold-exposure controls determine the permitted schedule; this page does not prescribe a universal exposure time.
06
Prepare the cold-store request
Provide the Jeddah facility, zones, roles, quantities, shifts, duration, product flow and mandatory experience. Confirm transport, thermal PPE, equipment, induction, breaks, medical or other lawful checks and supervision responsibilities.
Suitability and availability are confirmed only after the full assignment and applicable employer requirements are reviewed.
