MONTHLY SAFETY POINTS

WAREHOUSE & DOCK INJURIES

 

 

 

 

 

With the booming economy over the last 10 years, Australian industry has expanded purchasing new capital equipment and warehouse space at a fast pace. So fast that important safety items can be forgotten in the design phase. Yes, safety starts at the design phase!

Thousands of tons of goods are moved through warehouses each and every day. Increased business means increased injuries and increased product damage. But that does not have to be the case, if proper design is used in the planning phase. Proper design can help eliminate many causes of so call "accidents".

TOP CAUSES OF WAREHOUSE & DOCK INJURIES IN AUSTRALIA:
· Forklifts overturning
· Manual handling and lifting
· People being struck by powered equipment
· Falls from high places including docks or slips/falls
· Gas and Chemical spills
· Failure to enforce the use of personal protective equipment
· Being injured by unguarded machinery.

A strong facilities safety program starts with the design phase, but also includes emergency preparedness. Is your organisation prepared for emergencies resulting from:

· Weather

. Accidents

· Fire

· Employee inexperience or indifference

Are your employees trained in emergency evacuation procedures such as: gas leaks, Emergency drills, and First Aid.
