WA - Warehouse Safety - WorkSafe targeting warehouses in inspection program

WorkSafe has begun an inspection program to look at safety issues in warehouses due to a spike in injuries in warehousing over the past 5 years. Inspectors will look at priority areas such as manual tasks, forklifts, falls, electrical safety, slips and trips, machinery guarding, pressure vessels, hazardous substances, materials handling equipment, work in excessively hot or cold conditions and safe movement of vehicles and plant.
