You probably already understand that warehouse safety awareness is an important element to your workplace. According to statistics from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), fire departments in the US respond to an estimated average of 1,210 fires in warehouses every year. Warehouse fires result in an annual average of $155 million in direct property damage; these fires resulted in the death or injury of 22 individuals.

In addition, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ranks being struck by an object or equipment as the third most disabling cause of injury in US workplaces. Providing warehouse work area and walkway protection is key to keeping your employees and product safe.
