What are the most common warehouse injuries?

The most common warehouse injuries and warehouse accidents include:

  • Injuries from falling objects. In warehouses that store large amounts of stock up high, the risk of falling objects is serious. With palette racks that can fail and user error associated with forklifts, warehouse injuries can range from mild bumps and strains to death
  • Manufacturing accidents. The most common injuries caused by manufacturing accidents in warehouses are damaged joints and ligaments, muscles, tendons and back injuries resulting from strenuous physical labour and working with machinery that has moving parts. Other common manufacturing accidents include overexertion injuries and repetitive stress injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Forklift accidents. Forklift accidents can come in many forms. The most common incident which can injure the operator is the forklift overturning, often when not loaded correctly. Forklifts can also injure operators if they fall off docks, between other vehicles, or collide with another forklift. Forklifts can also injure nearby workers if they overturn, can drop heavy loads on workers, or strike them when driving too fast
  • Slips trips, and falls. One of the most common warehouse injuries is falls due to slippery surfaces. This is often due to wet floors that have been cleaned, puddles caused by rainwater near entrances, or spills that aren’t cleaned up. Falls can also occur when areas are not well organised and debris and stock are lying around and not put away, creating a trip hazard
  • Crushing injuries. In warehouses where forklifts are being driven around, and large amounts of stock are being moved from place to place, workers can be caught between palettes, forklifts, trailers, and docks, resulting in severe crushing injuries.
