Safety Products

Your warehousing operations involve many safety risks. Frequent fork truck traffic is the norm, and your space optimization strategy may include mezzanines that pose a fall hazard. Understanding and addressing your unique environmental risks is crucial to your business’s success.

4 Reasons You Need Warehouse Safety Equipment

Here are the top four reasons storage and distribution companies should focus on safety.

1. Regulatory Compliance

In the U.S., the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires all employers to implement measures to reduce workplace safety risks. Similar legislation exists in Canada and Mexico. Noncompliance with the law can lead to costly penalties and fines that impact your company’s bottom line. 

2. Workforce Health

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, over five in every 100 warehouse employees experienced a nonfatal injury in 2021. Almost half of these reportable cases involved missed work. Prioritizing workplace safety can help decrease the injury potential and prevent absenteeism that negatively affects production.

3. Equipment Protection

Your storage media, forklifts and other equipment are substantial business assets. Collisions can easily damage shelving and machinery, causing downtime. Investing in safety solutions helps limit the impact potential to protect your equipment and promote continued operations.

4. Reduced Liability

Employees who experience injuries on the job generally file workers’ compensation claims. An injured worker may also pursue legal action if an accident was foreseeable. Implementing the right safety equipment can help reduce your potential legal liability.
