Improving safety involves other departments
As you work to reduce the shipping costs that dimensional weight prices are adding to
operations, you need to make sure you don‘t reduce the carton strength so material can‘t be
stacked safely or as ship-alone products. While this sounds obvious, we see many centers where
this is a concern. Work with merchants and purchasing to find the right balance.
Developing safer forklift operations
I singled out this area because OSHA reports about 100 warehouse employees are killed
and 95,000 injured every year in forklift accidents. Studies show that about 50% of the most
serious accidents in DCs involve forklifts. Are your forklift operators fully trained? Do you have
bumpers at the end of aisles to protect racking systems? Do you proactively replace damaged
racking?
