WHAT’S AT STAKE

Warehousing has one of the highest injury rates of any industry.

Forklift incidents, repetitive motion injuries, slip-and-fall events, and fire code violations aren’t occasional risks in a distribution environment, they’re daily exposure.

OSHA’s general industry standards for powered industrial trucks, walking/working surfaces, and emergency egress are among the most frequently cited in warehouse inspections.

WAREHOUSING ANNUAL SAFETY PROGRAM

Regional 3PL Reduces Forklift Incidents by 61% in 12 Months

“Our forklift incident rate was our biggest liability heading into our insurance renewal. USP’s certification program and floor audit paid for itself in the first month.”

FROM THE FIELD

What our clients are saying after one year

Before USP, we were reactive — waiting for something to go wrong before we fixed it. After the first year of the program, we hadn’t had a single OSHA citation. That’s never happened in our 20-year history.
James Donovan
VP of Operations, Regional Construction Firm
