A closer look at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports provides a better insight into the problems facing warehouses. Their findings support OSHA's accounts of warehouses having more severe accidents and injury rates. The BLS also highlights these four-outstanding data from the reports:

1. The yearly warehouse injury rate in the U.S. is 5 cases per 100 full-time employees.

2. The rate of severe injuries stands as 3.7 cases per 100 employees.

3. The cases considered less serious is given as 1.7% for warehouse employees.

4. Almost all injuries recorded are notably preventable.


The 4th point highlights the importance of the Warehouse Safety Audit. Workplaces who employ the right safety programs are more effective and suffered fewer injuries and less productivity loss. 


The significance of the Warehouse Safety Audit from a financial perspective also shows most businesses cannot pay for the outcomes of an unsafe workplace.
