Safety & Compliance at ARDI Express

Structured operations, trained staff, and documented processes — at both our California and New Jersey facilities.

ARDI Express operates two independent warehouse facilities — Riverside, California (51,000 sq ft) and Edison, New Jersey (35,000 sq ft) — under standardized safety and compliance protocols. Our operations are designed to protect cargo, people, and our clients’ supply chain integrity. Below is a summary of the standards we maintain at every facility.

Workplace Safety Standards

All ARDI warehouses operate in compliance with applicable U.S. workplace safety regulations, including OSHA standards for general industry warehousing. Our facilities are inspected regularly, and our internal safety protocols are reviewed annually. Each warehouse maintains an active Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) as required under California Labor Code, with equivalent procedures applied at our New Jersey facility.

Daily safety briefings for warehouse staff
Posted emergency procedures and clearly marked exits
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provided to all warehouse workers

Equipment & Operator Certification

Material handling equipment — including forklifts, pallet jacks, and lift platforms — is operated only by certified personnel. All forklift operators complete OSHA-compliant training (OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178) before independent operation, with refresher training conducted as required. Equipment is inspected before each shift and serviced on a documented maintenance schedule.

WMS-Driven Operations & Cargo Tracking

Every cargo movement at ARDI is recorded in our Warehouse Management System (WMS). Each pallet, carton, and unit is barcode-scanned at receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping. This creates a documented chain of custody from container arrival to outbound dispatch, eliminating ambiguity about who handled what and when.

Photographic documentation available for inbound containers

Warehouse Insurance Coverage

Both ARDI warehouses maintain commercial insurance coverage protecting our operations and the cargo under our direct control. Insurance applies to bailee liability — meaning while cargo is in our physical possession at our facilities. Workers’ Compensation insurance is maintained per California and New Jersey state requirements. Certificate of insurance is available upon request for clients with specific compliance needs.
