Heat Stress, Hydration & Working Outdoors: Recognizing Heat-Related Illnesses
Working in high temperatures can be dangerous. Heat stress isn’t just an outdoor problem. It can also happen inside a warehouse, especially when ventilation is poor or equipment generates excessive heat. Heat-related illnesses can escalate fast, so recognizing the signs and acting quickly is critical.

Electrical Safety Awareness: Emergency Response
Electrical hazards can turn routine tasks into life-threatening situations in seconds. Knowing how to respond during an electrical emergency is critical to protecting lives. Quick, correct action can prevent further injury and even save a co-worker’s life. A strong safety culture starts with awareness and preparation.
When ...
Electrical Safety Awareness: Lockout Tagout Safety
Cutting power is the most effective way to mitigate risk. Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) for electrical systems prevents every conveyor, shrink-wrap machine, and charging station from starting unexpectedly while personnel work inside the guard. It’s a simple promise: no voltage, no surprise. Break that promise, and the motor doesn’t care who’s in...
Electrical Safety Awareness: Tool and Equipment Safety
Electricity drives every conveyor, lift, and label printer in the facility. Yet the same current that powers production can stop it in a flash. Electrical tool and equipment safety means giving cables, plugs, and power strips the same attention you give forklifts and dock doors. A frayed cord or misused extension might look harmless ...
Electrical Safety Awareness: Qualified vs. Unqualified Personnel
One spark can shut down a whole loading line. That’s why a strong safety culture keeps electrical work in the right hands and out of everyone else’s. Qualified vs. Unqualified Personnel is more than a label—it’s a line that protects every pallet, product, and person in the facility.
A qualified employee has the tra...
Why Electrical Safety Matters
Electric power keeps every conveyor, lift truck, and light in your facility moving. Yet the same current that drives production can stop it cold, with injuries, fires, or costly downtime. Electrical safety isn’t a luxury; it’s a fundamental part of an efficient and resilient operation.
Loose wires, wet floors, and p...
PPE buy-in doesn’t happen by hanging a poster. It grows when every employee feels responsible for slipping on the right gear—every task, every shift. Building that shared accountability keeps injuries down, production steady, and the workday predictable. Today, we’re digging into practical ways to tighten PPE buy-in and accountability across the warehouse floor.
Your facility st...
You’ve probably heard that PPE saves lives. But here’s the catch—only if it fits right and is properly maintained. Too loose, tight, or damaged PPE won’t protect you the way it should. It can create more problems than it solves.
In a warehouse environment, every shift presents potential hazards. From chemical splashes to falling objects, your gear is your first line of defense....
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 flas...
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 Cultu...

Hazard Communication & Chemical Safety: Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
A strong safety culture depends on clear communication, especially when it involves hazardous chemicals. That's where Safety Data Sheets (SDS) come in.

Hazard Communication & Chemical Safety: Introduction to Hazard Communication (HazCom)
Our topic this month focuses on Hazard Communication, also known as HazCom.

That includes how to handle them safely and what to do ...
Ergonomics & Injury Prevention: Footwear and Floor Mats
Preventing slips, trips, and falls is key to maintaining a safe and productive environment in any facility.

These simple measures can dramatically reduce incidents and promote ...
Ergonomics & Injury Prevention: Stretching And Microbreaks
Staying productive often means staying on your feet and in motion for long hours. However, repeated movements and static postures can lead to fatigue, strain, and long-term injuries without the right balance. One simple yet highly effective way to prevent these issues is by incorporating stretching and microbreaks into the da...
Ergonomics & Injury Prevention: Avoiding Repetitive Motion Strains
Repetitive motion injuries are among the most common hazards in today’s facilities. These injuries can creep up slowly, often unnoticed, until pain or discomfort interferes with daily tasks. They affect muscles, tendons, and nerves, often in the hands, wrists, shoulders, neck, and back. Whether lifting, scanning, reac...
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. The...

Forklift Safety: Maintenance and Emergency Response
Creating a strong safety culture in your warehouse starts with regular forklift maintenance and a solid emergency response plan.

However, you can prevent or minimize these issues by adopting the proper habits and paying attention to deta...
