Step 6
Implement warehouse safety measures. Mitigating company risk associated with warehouse injuries automatically cuts your labor costs because you aren’t paying for workers' compensation expenses and potentially reassigning workers for areas with which they might not be familiar. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2010, for every 100 warehouse employees, there were 4.1 work-related injuries that incurred additional labor costs such as absences or moving employees to other departments.
