Warehouse & Storage: Keeping Workers Safe and Cool

DATE: 

February 13, 2025

TIME: 

10:00 AM Pacific Time

There are 162,000 employees working in warehousing, storage facilities, and distribution centers in California. Warehousing operations can expose employees to a wide variety of hazards that result in fatalities and serious injuries and illnesses. Whether working in an industrial, commercial or retail facility, warehouse workers need to understand and follow safety guidelines to avoid common hazards.

When workers are trained in warehouse hazard recognition and prevention and following recommended safety procedures, they can count on a safe and productive warehouse experience.

Join us for a 60-minute, live virtual webinar, led by Cal/OSHA’s District Manager, Lex Eaton, and our subject matter experts, as they walk you through how to recognize common hazards which include excessive indoor heat.

We will cover

  • The statistics of injuries and claims and how that impacts business.
  • Recognizing the common safety and health hazards
  • Indoor and outdoor heat illness prevention
  • What employers need to do to be in compliance with Cal/OSHA guidelines
  • Dual employers: what’s required of each
  • Using effective investigation strategies
  • The resources available for keeping workers safe and compliant

Our seminars are free and open to all California employers and insurance brokers. This event features a 60-minute presentation that includes a Q&A session.

In the event that this webinar is full, you will automatically be added to a waitlist.
