By minimizing the risk of injury, fewer workplace disruptions take place and absenteeism associated with injury is also reduced. Equipment downtime is another factor which can be av
3、oided through the appropriate use of safety procedures.Here are a few safety guidelines to help keep your warehouse safe:在仓库安全方面，反复检查几次总有许多好处。安全操作规程常常被忽视，比如时间不够充分，没有足够的资源去消除死角。当安全规程得到执行，有许多的好处，比如更高的员工满意度以及潜在的效率增加。通过风险最小化的努力，减少异常停工，或者缺席减员的问题。另外设备的停机时间也可以减少。通过一些安全指导原则来帮助您改进仓库安全。1，Ensure Safety Equipme

Appropriate eyewear and hard hats should also be worn when required. Employees should be aware of emergency exits and the sprinklers installed in the roof sh
5、ould not be blocked at any time. Safety equipment is implemented in order to minimize workplace injury, so although it may be time consuming to initiate its use, it does pay off in the long run.在仓库里叉车是非常关键的，它们用来提升很重货物。安全眼镜以及安全帽是需要的。员工需要了解紧急出口及喷淋管路的位置及不能阻挡管路。采用安全装置以减少工伤，尽管使用这些装置可能费时费力，但是这些时间耗费是值得的。2.
6、 Eliminate Any Potential Safety Hazards消灭潜在的安全隐患Ensure all warehousing floors are free of slip and trip hazards. It is important that this safety check is carried out on a regular basis, by all employees, and that the floor is always free of stray cords, liquids and any other potentially hazardous i

It is also essential that any cracks and pits in the flooring are attended to as these can cause serious injuries to employers as well as damaging expensive machinery.确保仓库地面没有滑倒的风险。所以员工周期性地检查是非常重要的，地面不能线缆、液体和其他潜在的危险物品。比如地面很大的裂缝和其他有害物体也能导致巨大的伤害，或者导致设备受损。3. Clearly Label Designated Hazardous Zon

The easiest way to illuminate hazardous zones is by using tape or painting black and white stripes on the floor of the designated area. This e

Use all materials handling equipment carefully and follow the proper operating procedures including push rather than pull, whenever possible and lean in the direction that is being travelled. Also, never drive a forklift or use other powered equipment without
12、 training or authorization.当物体需要运输，最好的方式就是水平搬运。如果实在需要举升搬运，就需要检查路线及目的地是否有足够的空间。安全技术措施是货物不要遮挡举升者的视野。所有物料搬运设备都需要安全谨慎地按照流程作业。搬运作业尽量采用推的方式，避免用拉的方式。永远不要让未经授权的人员操作叉车。5.

All staff members should be encouraged to be constantly aware of whats around them and to communicate where they are to ensure the avoidance of collision accidents.在工作场所具有安全意识是非常重要的安全因素。这可以通过员工间的互相沟通。当员工能清晰大声地让其他工位了解，碰撞事故可以大大降低。当搬运设备具有报警功能和让他们了解危险路段，也可以大大降低事故。鼓励所有员工去注意周边环境和有效交流可以帮助避免碰撞事故。Safety should always be a priority in the workplace.安全永远都是工作场所的优先事项。
