Safety Within A Warehouse
•

•
Electrical wiring is said to be one of the leading causes of injury or damage.
Warehouses should have ground fault circuit interrupters to minimize any risks.
You should be trained on how to use extinguishers and what kind to use to put
out any electrical fires. An evacuation plan should be known by all employees
and have practice drills.
The products within the warehouse are stored mostly on shelving. Be aware of
what’s being stored and how you are storing. Know when storing goods of
what would be a harmful interaction with other goods. You need to be familiar
with using safety measure on loading, stacking and removal of the goods.
OSHA has all safety regulations, recommendations on storing and handling,
list of possible interactions and what kind of first aide that would be needed, in
case you come into contact. It’s your employer's responsibility to go over, show
where the OSHA regulations book is kept and any training of safety.
