Because warehouses typically contain no dangerous machines or high-risk operations, employers and employees often develop a false sense of safety and security. George Swartz helps warehouse management proactively develop formal safety programs and reduce the number of safety incidents and losses that occur in the warehouse environment. Written for safety professionals, warehouse managers, human resource personnel, safety committee members and supervisors in every industry, Warehouse Safety discusses the nature of warehouse operations, high-hazard areas and safety statistics. It also examines the components of an effective safety program, including meetings, job safety observations and safety incentives.
Warehouse Safety focuses on the high-hazard situations and work areas present in warehouses and the equipment and training that managers should invest in to prevent injuries and losses. Swartz addresses such preventive measures as fixed fire systems and fire safety, materials storage, back belts, handrailing and ladders, employee training, lockout/tagout procedures, dock hazards and safeguards, the hazards of powered industrial trucks, and the training of their operators. The author also discusses housekeeping practices, materials handling, inspections/auditing procedures, ergonomic considerations, control of chemical exposures, personal protective equipment and job hazard analysis.
