Facility Safety - Elevating Safety in Warehouse, Distribution Center and High Injury-Rate Retail Establishments: A Risk-Based Prioritized Approach
Date: Thursday May 2, 2024 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT
In today's fast-paced supply chain, where the demand for quick and accurate deliveries has never been higher, the safety of your warehouse and distribution center operations is pivotal. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of people working in warehousing applications has grown tremendously in the last several years, and injury rates have grown out of proportion - with injury rates significantly higher than industry averages at more than five injuries per 100 full-time workers annually. This underscores the critical need for an emphasis on protecting workers from a multitude of common warehouse hazards.
In fact, OSHA has kicked off a National Emphasis Program (NEP) on Warehousing and Distribution Center Operations.
This webinar will share some details about the OSHA NEP, and help you take a risk driven, priorities-based approach to keeping warehouse and distribution center workers safe. Learn about key warehouse safety risks including those that OSHA has its sights on, like slips, trips, and falls; ergonomic and musculoskeletal injuries; powered industrial vehicle accidents; material handling, and heat stress - but also others that might stem from warehouse growth and new technologies. The webinar will cover solutions for addressing hazards such as processes for hazard identification and risk analysis, effective safety training, materials handling equipment and education, ergonomics solutions, and warehouse traffic management.
Learn how addressing these priorities creates a safer work environment, reduces the risk of accidents and injuries, and enhances overall productivity and morale among warehouse workers. Reserve your spot today!
