Warehouse Safety

Warehouse Safety Program helps employees to stay safe by identifying the specific hazards they can encounter while working in a warehouse, and providing them with practical procedures they can use to avoid them. Warehouses are very busy places… and that can give rise to a lot of hazardous situations. Every year, thousands of warehouse workers are injured on the job, and more fatalities occur in warehouses than in most other types of workplaces as well. But it doesn’t have to be that way. To protect themselves against accidents, employees need to meet warehouse hazards head on by being safety minded. Workers can face danger from falling objects, slips and trips, and working with equipment like forklifts and pallet trucks. Areas included in the program include information on warehouse safety fundamentals, materials handling basics, working safely with forklifts, stacking and storing pallets, working safely on a loading dock, and more.
