HSE publishes warehouse safety guide
February 1st 2008 Now available from HSE
Books, the Health & Safety
Executive has produced a
new publication –
"Warehousing and Storage:
A guide to health and
safety".
The 124 page guide has
been written in liaison with
the Warehousing Health and
Safety Forum, a joint
committee with
representation from trade
associations, trade unions
and employer organisations.
Subjects covered include
common causes of accidents
in the warehouse
environment such as slips
and trips, falls from height,
manual handling, and
injuries linked with vehicles.
Primarily for people who
have management,
supervisory or other health
and safety interests in
warehouses and storage
facilities, the guide will also
be of value to employees
and their health and safety
representatives.
