Highlight on Safety in the Warehouse

We’ve written several posts on warehouse safety. This video of an accident at a Russian vodka warehouse relays why this is such an important topic. Fortunately the forklift operator only sustained minor injuries in this accident. This was because the strength of the forklifts cage. Good thing for R&D at the warehouse manufacturers. But, it also highlights the need for pallet rack leg protectors. These may, or may not, have helped in this incident, but it may pay to have added protection for your expensive stock!

The other warehouse safety piece is forklift operator training. You really want to make sure that your crew is well trained. This will reduce your accident rate.

The collision caused the entire row of rack, and the one across from it, to come crashing down. In total, there was more than $100,000 in damage done.
