Introduction to Warehousing and Storage

Work related accidents within the storage and warehousing industry remain a major issue; there are still many thousands of incidents/accidents recorded each year.

The most common types of accidents continue to be:

Slips & trips
Manual handling
Falls from height
Being hit by a moving vehicle

The free short guide 'Warehousing and storage - Keep it safe' (INDG412) has been produced by HSE to help those involved in warehousing and storage reduce the number of injuries and cases of occupational ill health. Use the link to download the leaflet from our HSE Free Downloads section

Together with this section and the A-Z content we can help you with issues you may encounter in your industry.

Should you have specific concerns you can always 'Ask the Expert'.
