Facility Safety in Action: Managing Risk in Warehouses and Distribution Centers
Date: Thursday May 28, 2026 at 2:00pm ET - 1:00pm CT - 11:00am PT
In today’s fast-moving supply chain environment, the pressure for speed and accuracy continues to grow—and so do the safety challenges inside warehouses and distribution centers. The surging employment in these settings has elevated injury rates remain well above industry averages, reinforcing the need for a more focused, proactive approach to worker protection. At the same time, OSHA’s ongoing National Emphasis Program (NEP) on Warehousing and Distribution Centers continues to place increased scrutiny on common facility hazards and safety practices.
In this session, our expert speaker Greg Zigulis, President of Sixth Sense Safety Solutions, will revisit the key elements of the NEP while taking a practical, risk-based look at how to prioritize safety efforts where they matter most. Zigulis will explore leading causes of injury, such as slips, trips, and falls; ergonomics and musculoskeletal disorders; powered industrial vehicle incidents; material handling risks; and heat stress. Also, he will explore emerging challenges tied to facility growth and new technologies, as well as considerations such as how temporary and contract staffing impact facility safety. You will gain insight into effective strategies for hazard identification, risk assessment, safety training, traffic management, and ergonomic improvements.
Join us to learn how focusing on the right priorities can help reduce injuries, improve operational performance, and build a stronger safety culture and practice across your facility.
