Every day Pittston Business Distribution Center workers are subjected to serious work-related injuries. These injuries include but are not limited to fractures, broken bones, back and head injuries, and even amputations. When working in a warehouse environment, it is crucial to follow proper safety protocols as OSHA reports that warehouse injuries rates are the highest out of all work industries. OSHA recommends several precautions for warehouse workers such as: keeping your workspace clean well-organized to avoid trips or falls, operating forklifts slowly, storing heavier objects on lower shelves, training employees to know the location of fire extinguishers and chemical spill kits, providing employees with proper breaks, and making sure employees are wearing proper protective gear. Additionally, employees performing physical labor should ask for help if an object is too heavy to lift.
