Warehouse Safety

Awareness of the main causes of accidents in warehouses, and the actions to reduce the risk of these incidents occurring.

Every year in Europe and the UK, thousands of people are injured due to workplace accidents in the warehousing and storage industry. Some accidents are fatal. In many cases, workers sustain chronic injuries that affect the rest of their lives. The consequences of these incidents cost businesses, the community, individuals and families millions of pounds every year.
