The warehouse of a company that handles moving the freight that Easley does can come with some inherent dangers. We put safety at the top of our priority list and meet quarterly to discuss and reinforce basic safety principles. Some of the potential risks of working in a warehouse include product falling onto employees’ head, feet, arms or legs; Lifting dock plates and constantly adjusting them; and forklift or pallet jacks rolling off the dock.

Obviously these errors can be potentially devastating to an employee, the product, the company, and the customer, which is why we take our safety seriously. With several easy checks and reminders, nearly all accidents can be avoided. Some of the practices we promote include securing dock plates so they don’t roll over; Conducting daily inspections of loads and temporary storage arrangements; Never allowing a forklift or pallet jack to back to the edge of the dock; and keeping aisles clear so employees can move material without hitting equipment or personnel.
