    • How have the last few years impacted warehouse safety for workers?
      • The past several years introduced a bevy of unique safety challenges for warehouses. A combination of factors—including rising consumer expectations around speed of delivery, a pandemic-induced eCommerce boom, talent shortages, and company cost-cutting measures—created a perfect storm of increasing pressure and supply chain complexity, and new concerns about warehouse worker safety were brought to light.
      • This new environment demands a modern approach to managing safety and a keen eye to emerging technology. The need to invest in safe and secure workplaces has become increasingly more crucial and shows no signs of slowing down.
      • How are safety professionals shifting how they measure safety success?
        • Instead of seeking the absence of injury, safety professionals are now looking for the presence of defenses that keeps workers safe.
        • It should be obvious, but can you tell us why warehouse operators should invest more in safety?

          • Cost avoidance
          • Business continuity
