Warehouse Industry – Slip and Fall Risks
According to statistics from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), warehouse workers are at a higher risk of slip-and-fall injuries than workers in other industries. This is because the warehouse floor can include many slip-and-fall hazards, such as:
- Slippery surfaces
- Uneven surfaces
- Spilled or melted merchandise
- Boxes or equipment on the ground
- Weather-related hazards on outdoor loading docks
When a warehouse worker slips or falls due to conditions in their workplace, they may suffer from a variety of injuries. Falls might result in minor injuries, like bruises or broken bones, but can also lead to serious like spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injuries. Injuries like these can lead to life-long disabilities, or can even result in death.
