In August, OSHA announced its renewed focus on the National Emphasis Program, impacting, among other areas, safety in warehouses and distribution centers.
What does that mean for you?
OSHA inspections are taking a closer look at common workplace hazards, including:
• Forklift operations
• Material handling and storage
• Walking-working surfaces
• Emergency exits
• Heat hazards
• Ergonomics
• Fire protection
Staying ahead of potential OSHA violations starts with regular facility walkthroughs. Check that pedestrian pathways are clear, forklift traffic is properly managed, emergency exits and fire equipment are accessible, and safety signage, floor markings, and storage areas are properly maintained to help keep your workplace safe and reduce the risk of costly fines.
