The Alarming Reality of Warehouse Injuries
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, warehouses report over 4.7 injuries per 100 full-time workers annually. These incidents not only endanger workers but also have a significant financial impact on operations. Lost workdays, medical expenses, and operational delays cost businesses millions of dollars each year. Beyond monetary loss, warehouse injuries negatively affect employee morale and lead to increased turnover, reducing overall efficiency.
