What are Warehouse Safety Rules?
Creating warehouse safety rules depend on company size, policy, and procedures. However, implementing rules based on the most frequently cited violations can be a viable starting point to ensure baseline OSHA compliance.
Here are general examples of 10 warehouse safety rules you can apply in your specific context:
1. Ensure safety equipment are being used
Take advantage of safety equipment such as PPEs and other required equipment relating to fire protection, design, maintenance, and use of powered industrial trucks. Having them on site and actually using them goes a long way in keeping workers safe and getting your moneys worth.
2. Eliminate any potential safety hazards
Classify the potential hazards of chemicals and communicate information concerning hazards and appropriate protective measures to warehouse staff. This can be done by doing risk assessments and other relevant methods concerned in identifying and evaluating hazards.
