In a warehouse environment, every shift presents potential hazards. From chemical splashes to falling objects, your gear is your first line of defense. But e...

Selecting The Right PPE For The Job

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is your last line of defense when working in factories and warehouses to stay safe. But just wearing PPE isn’t enough. You must wear the proper PPE to protect yourself and your team. That’s where many safety breakdowns happen. A hard hat won’t stop a chemical splash. Cut-resistant gloves won’t help much with arc flash. The key ...

What Makes PPE The Last Line Of Defense?

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a vital role in warehouse safety, but it’s important to remember where it stands in the safety hierarchy. PPE isn’t your first defense—it’s your last. Relying on it too early—or misusing it—can give a false sense of security and put people at risk.

One of the top priorities of a solid Safety Culture is eliminating hazards before wor...

Ergonomics & Injury Prevention: Safe Lifting Techniques That Prevent Injuries in the Workplace

Manual lifting is one of the most frequent tasks in many facilities. Lifting is part of the daily routine, from moving boxes to shifting equipment. But when done incorrectly, it can quickly lead to serious injuries, especially strains and sprains to the lower back, shoulders, and knees. These injuries sideline team ...

Workers must often repeat the same tasks in a fast-moving facility for long hours. The human body can only take so much strain before showing signs of wear, whether lifting, reaching, or sitting. This strain often leads to musculoskeletal disorders—or MSDs—which are one of the most common causes of workplace injuries. That’s why ergonomics is not just a nice-to-have—it’s a necessity.

A strong Safety Culture prioritizes ergonomics be...
