Warehouse Safety Training

Georgia Tech’s safety and health team has been awarded a training grant that will cover Warehousing hazards.
We are addressing how to prevent injury and illness due to workplace exposures in warehouses. Warehousing training addresses topics such as the operation of powered industrial trucks/forklifts, chemical hazards/hazard communication, safe material and package handling, electrical safety, means of egress, lockout/tagout, slips, trips, and falls, floor guards, wall openings and holes, prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), respiratory protection, and more.

This training is funded by a Susan Harwood Grant*.

Both sessions will address how to prevent injury and illness due to workplace exposures in warehouses.  The four-hour trainiang option is more in depth and includes additional topics, such as chemical and thermal stressors, ergonomic best practices, forklift/powered industrial truck safety, and safe material and package handling.
