Warehouse jobs can be repetitive or even downright boring, according to workers. Unsafe behavior can be a constant temptation, but it’s up to management to provide an environment where safety can thrive.
Pallet jack-related injuries, for example, occur when workers ride, race, or otherwise use these trucks improperly. Since 2002, there have been over twenty-five fractures, eight amputations, and four fatalities associated with pallet jacks.
Review important warehouse safety topics with your team. As you lead your meetings, be sure to provide plenty of opportunities for interaction. Make participation your #1 goal.
