Given the wide range of potential threats, warehouse
safety management requires corporate managers to
have a comprehensive vision of risk. In addition, the
company must have a proper maintenance policy for
its warehousing facilities and the best housekeeping
and cleaning practices must be followed. The existence
of a safety management policy alone will be of little
use unless it is complemented by the involvement of
all parties. Naturally, leadership is essential in order
to achieve good results in this area. Managerial actions
and decisions send clear messages to all levels of the
organisation regarding which actions are considered
important and which are considered unacceptable.
