Warehouse Safety Training - An Overview 

Warehouse settings present serious safety issues, with injury rates frequently higher than national averages. In New York State, for example, warehouse employees had an injury rate of 11.5 per 100 full-time employees in 2023, more than twice the national average. Our Warehouse Safety Training program is structured to mitigate these hazards through complete, online training specifically designed for warehouse operations. Trainees will learn how to recognize typical hazards, including improper equipment usage and unsafe handling of materials, and effectively apply prevention measures. This course addresses essential subjects, such as forklift and pallet jack safety, ergonomics, hazard communication (HazCom), and emergency response procedures. So, sign up today to take a step toward workplace safety.
