Objects that fall from shelves or dropped by another employee can cause very serious injuries, with the most common being head injuries.
If a person takes the full force of a falling object they can be left with cuts, lacerations, concussions or even blindness.
These injuries are not just limited to warehouse workers, but can also occur in any workplace where there are high cupboards with objects inside.
Having adequate storage units, and reminding employees on how to store items properly can help to prevent these types of injuries from occurring.
