Think WAREHOUSE Safety
“THE SIMPLE FACTS”
Our warehouse and materials handling safety class will discuss a myriad of potential hazards and exposures; along with guidelines to effectively address and mitigate these hazards and exposures in a prudent manner. We will also discuss the impact of unsafe warehouses on your insurance premiums. Students will learn that there is more to warehouse safety than storing materials and products from the rain!
- More than 145,000 people work in over 7,000 warehouses.
- The fatal injury rate for the warehousing industry is higher than the national average for all industries.
Potential hazards for workers in warehousing:
- Unsafe use of forklifts;
- Improper stacking of products;
- Failure to use proper personal protective equipment;
- Failure to follow proper lockout/tagout procedures;
- Inadequate fire safety provisions including evacuation plans; and
- Repetitive motion injuries.
