OSHA launches National Emphasis Program on Warehouse Safety
Washington — OSHA has begun a National Emphasis Program that targets hazards in warehouses, distribution centers and “high-risk” retail establishments. The NEP, which agency administrator Doug Parker announced during a National Forklift Safety Day event in June, also covers mail/postal processing facilities and parcel delivery/courier services. Inspections under the initiative will focus on common workplace hazards, including powered industrial trucks, material handling/storage, walking-working surfaces, exits and fire protection. “Heat and ergonomic hazards shall be considered during all inspections covered by this NEP, and a health inspection shall be conducted if OSHA learns that heat and/or ergonomic hazards are present,” an agency directive states.
