Materials Handling & Storage Safety

Materials handling and storage activities represent some of the highest safety risk areas in warehouses, industrial sites, and operational facilities. Accidents related to lifting, stacking, movement, and storage of materials often result from unsafe practices, poor layout, inadequate procedures, or lack of awareness rather than equipment failure alone.

Developed by Boost, this course focuses on practical safety management for materials handling and storage operations. The program equips participants with the knowledge and skills required to identify hazards, apply safe handling practices, manage storage risks, and create a safer working environment while maintaining operational efficiency.
