Why “Warehouse Safety” Matters:

You may not think of the warehouse as a particularly hazardous place, but the fact is that there are many ways to have an accident and get hurt if you work in the warehouse. With hazards ranging from back injuries to forklift accidents to slips and trips, it’s not hard to see why that is so. What’s more, almost every activity in a warehouse is covered by at least one OSHA regulation. So it’s important for you to know and follow warehouse safety rules for regulatory compliance, as well as for accident prevention.

Key Points:

  • Warehouses contain many hazards you need to be aware of.
  • Always practice safe lifting to prevent back injuries.
  • Use material-handling equipment safely, and watch out for forklifts.
