Because of the size and weight of pallets, important safety factors have to be considered at all times. Retail workers (and customers) must pay attention to any loose components in the pallet rack system, and take the time to report any damage in the pallet rack frame; such frame damage could cause the pallets to fall. It is especially important to have highly visible warning signs if the pallet rack system is used in retail environments, such as wholesale centers, where the public is present.

The most efficient method for maintaining safe work practices in the workplace is to involve employees in identifying and eliminating work hazards and unsafe work practices. By involving employees retailers find that the safety message is heard throughout the company. This is particularly critical when focusing on retail shelf stocking. By holding regular safety committee meetings with a committee of employees from all levels of the business, retailers, especially grocery chains are able to make safety a routine agenda item at every staff meeting. These efforts help to track the company’s safety performance and may even lead to future efforts such as a wellness or walking program.

Manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler recently contributed a feature article titled, “Using Lesson Learned: Automating In Store Applications,” published in the current issue of Automation and Controls Today. Cutler reported, “The line between manufacturing and warehouse became muddy over the past decade as out sourcing became common place. Companies that were solid manufacturing organizations had to become efficient and effective using warehousing and distribution processes. That line between manufacturing and distribution has now been crossed right into the front door of retailers worldwide. The lessons of ergonomics in plants and distribution centers are now seen at shelving, in the aisle, and in the back room of retail operations.”
