WHY TRAIN WAREHOUSE EMPLOYEES ON RACK SAFETY?

Pallet racks are an essential part of warehouses, and so is employee safety training. In cold storage environments or industries with a high velocity of forklift traffic, like the food and beverage industry, damage is bound to be found on racks. Unfortunately, it is often neglected, will continue accumulating, and the systems' structural integrity may become compromised.

Safety is drastically improved when workers understand the potential hazards and know the proper course of action when an event occurs.

There are many consequences to employees lacking rack safety knowledge:

  • Increased damage to racking systems, products, or facilities
  • Increased risk of injuries, or worse, fatalities
  • Loss of productivity and efficiency
  • Increased insurance costs
  • Costly legal liabilities
  • Decreased employee retention and well-being
