General Housekeeping
BasicsMake sure that flooring surfaces are non-slippery and free of pits and dentsReport loose or damaged flooring or other tripping hazards that need repairDon’t leave box cutters or other sharp tools lying aroundKeep cords and wires off the floorClean all spills immediatelyDon’t leave items in aisles, on the floor, or stacked insecurely on flat surfacesDon’t block extinguishers, sprinklers, or fire exitsCreate designated areas to store empty pallets and limit the stack height tosix feet
TipsBuy enough Trash Bins to avoid debris accumulation and employee walk timeMake sure someone is in charge of emptying trash bins regularlyBattery charging areas - safety codes demand specific safety measures, in-cluding ventilation, eye wash first-aid stations, acid neutralization, and spillcontrol systems.

Material Handling Safety: The Human Body
Manual LiftingKnow what you are handlingTest the load before lifting it. If it is too heavy or bulky, get helpKeep your back straight; don’t bend overUse your legs–not your back–to liftLift cartons by holding opposite top and bottom cornersAfter lifting, be sure you can see over the loadDon’t twist your back while carrying a load. If you need to turn, take smallsteps in the direction you want to goUse equipment (like drum trucks) to move barrels and drums
TipsTeach employees that items can often be moved with equipment such as a dolly, a hand-truck, or a forklift. Use mechanical help wherever possible.
Cases involving injuries to the back: 235,960 in 2007“ ”http://www.bls.gov/iif/

Material Handling Safety: Forklifts & Equipment
Forklifts and Material Handling EquipmentEncourage employees to immediately report (anonymously if needed) unsafe conditions or behavior Use striping to delineate aisles and passageways, including doorway andloading dock areas Keep aisles and passageways clear at all times Don’t assume that the equipment operator can see you or react in time tostop. Assume that you are in his blind spot at all timesLook both ways and move slowly when emerging from aisles, doorways, orofficesProhibit walking on pallets and using forklifts and pallet jacks for ridesBe careful around conveyors, making sure not to get body parts or clothingcaught in the machinery’s moving parts.Teach employees to push manual material handling equipment wheneverpossible, rather than pull loads
TipMake sure employees know where the on/off and emergency stopbuttons are on equipment theywork on or around.

Fire & Chemical Safety
Fire Codes & InspectionsThe aim is minimum level of safety (you can’t cover every possible event)Used to determine building access, aisle widths, fire walls, smoke and heat removal systems, fluespace and sprinkler density (in racks)Also confirms absence of hazards, blocked exits, missing fire extinguishers, exit lights anddamaged sprinklers
Your Local Fire DepartmentMaintain a dialogueInvite them for coffee and an inspectionKeep them in the loop when you add hazardous material
Chemical SafetyStore to manufacturers recommendations and fire codesMake sure you have MSDS sheets availableInclude usage, storage requirements and first aid proceduresMaintain
TipsIf you don’t already do it, or your state still allows smoking on-site, do your employees’ health a favor and outlaw smoking. Prohibit smoking in your warehouse and post no smoking signs. Pay attention to changes in packaging material as they can have a substantial impact on theflammability of materials in your warehouse.Hazardous materials include a range of industrially-produced materials such as solids, gases,flammable liquids, explosives and oxidizers. Not surprisingly, they have their own codes.

Crime & PunishmentSafety is for all employeesCompliance should be a condition of employmentImplement a progressive disciplinary program that, while punitive, is not overbearing
TipsGive pre- and post-training tests to confirm that employees haveretained the information.Educate senior management about occupational safety and health sothey will understand how it helps achieve business objectives.As part of training, ensure that employees responsible for shuttingdown certain equipment understand the conditions when they shouldperform the task or immediately leave.Make safety part of employment reviews. In addition to penalizingemployees for not following safety rules, reward them for makingyour operation a safer place to work.

Safety in Your Workplace
Making Your Workplace as Safe as PossibleConduct a safety AuditInvite an outsider to visit your facilityDesignate floor storage and staging areas with stripingEncourage employees to report unsafe conditions – err on the side of cautionPay attention to “Near Miss Accidents”Accidents will happen to good people – investigate cause – look beyond the incident
Do more than the minimum• Look to the future• Consider a design to allow for expansion to handle
higher hazard classes
A Final Word on SafetyWorking in a warehouse is one of the 100 deadliest jobs in the United States Don’t let anyone claim they don’t have time for safety. Makesure that management is aware of the importance of safetyand incentivized to reduce and eliminate hazards
