Be Wary In The Warehouse

Falling materials, forklift accidents, chemical explosions, fires — lots of things can go wrong in a warehouse workplace. 

Learning about the hazards and how to avoid them will result in a safer work environment for you and your co-workers.

Remember these safety guidelines in warehouses and all storage areas

• Keep aisles and traffic areas free of obstacles which can cause tripping accidents.
• Barricade and report any spills on the floor so they can be cleaned up before someone slips and falls.
• Good lighting is required for warehouse safety.  Report burned out light fixtures so they can be replaced.
• Personal Protective Equipment will be required in many circumstances.  Hardhats, leather gloves, safety-toed footwear and safety eyewear will be needed for many warehouse jobs.
• Operate a forklift only if you have the training and authorization to do so. 

Keep your warehouse work area safe by reporting hazards and following safe work practices at all times.
