Course Overview

Working in a warehouse or distribution center is often hard and strenuous; it can also be very dangerous, especially when working around chemicals and electricity. These hazards pose very specific dangers that may lead to injury or even death if not taken seriously.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has developed guidance for dealing with chemicals in a warehouse setting under the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). HCS provides clear guidelines on how, where, and by whom hazardous chemicals should be handled. All employees working directly or around any chemicals need to be trained thoroughly.

In addition to chemicals, electrical hazards are also of great concern in warehouses and distribution centers. Many, if not all, of these environments depend on electricity in some form to keep the center operating. This is why it’s vital for all workers to be aware of its dangers and precautions. Electrical equipment must be installed correctly and only used as designed per the manufacturer’s guidelines. When performing maintenance on equipment, the energy source must be completely disconnected before servicing begins. Following these simple rules greatly reduces the risk of electrical shock and other injuries.

This course will help you identify and respond to hazardous chemical and electrical hazards in the warehouse and distribution center. Almost every worker will come in contact with one or both of these dangers at some point during their job, so it’s a great idea for anyone working in a warehouse setting to take this training!

Under PSM, what information should be provided on chemical safety data sheets?


Toxicity, exposure limits, reactivity, physical data, corrosivity data, and hazards of mixing incompatible chemicals.


What guidelines are associated with a lockout/tagout program?


Lockout/tagout guidelines ensure that the energy source on a machine being serviced is completely shut off before servicing begins.


How often should lockout/tagout procedures be re-evaluated?


Workers providing maintenance on machines should be thoroughly trained and the process evaluated annually.


What precautions should be taken if electrical equipment is damaged?


Use of equipment with frayed cords, missing prongs, or cracked casings should be discontinued immediately.
