What are the safety rules for handling warehouse materials?

1, Use of personal protective equipment
Wear protective clothing: When handling heavy objects, chemicals, or other potentially hazardous materials, employees must wear appropriate protective clothing such as safety shoes, gloves, protective goggles, earplugs or earmuffs, face shields, etc. to protect themselves from injury.
Proper use of personal protective equipment: Employees should receive training on how to use personal protective equipment to ensure proper wearing and use, in order to achieve maximum protection effectiveness.
2, Material Classification and Identification
Clear material classification: Materials in the warehouse should be classified and stored according to their properties, uses, and hazard levels to ensure that similar materials are placed together for easy management and retrieval.
Clear identification: Each material should be equipped with a clear identification plate, indicating the material name, specifications, quantity, production date, expiration date (if applicable), and safety precautions, so that employees can quickly identify and take appropriate measures.
3, Material handling and storage
Use the correct handling tools: Choose appropriate handling tools based on the weight, shape, and size of the materials, such as forklifts, handcarts, pallets, etc., to avoid using unsuitable tools that may cause injury to personnel or damage to materials.
Follow the correct handling method: When handling materials, follow the correct posture and movements, such as keeping the back straight, using leg strength instead of waist strength, avoiding twisting the body, etc., to reduce the risk of physical injury.
Safe storage: Materials should be stored on stable shelves and ensure that the load-bearing capacity of the shelves meets the requirements. For fragile, flammable, explosive and other materials, additional safety measures should be taken, such as setting up fire isolation belts and using explosion-proof electrical appliances.
4, Chemical management
Chemical safety storage: Chemicals should be stored in dedicated chemical warehouses or storage areas, away from sources of fire, heat, and humid environments. Meanwhile, chemicals should be classified and stored according to their properties to avoid mutual reactions or contamination.
Chemical identification and recording: Each chemical should be equipped with a detailed Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and provided to employees for reference. At the same time, chemical inventory records should be established to record information such as the name, quantity, purchase date, usage date, and remaining quantity of chemicals.
Chemical use and disposal: When using chemicals, follow the product manual and safety operating procedures to avoid excessive use or misuse. For discarded chemicals, they should be safely disposed of in accordance with relevant laws and regulations to avoid polluting the environment.
5, Safety training and drills
Regular safety training: Warehouse management personnel should regularly organize safety training for employees, including material handling safety rules, personal protective equipment usage methods, chemical safety knowledge, etc., to improve employees' safety awareness and operational skills.
Emergency drill: Develop emergency plans and regularly organize employees to conduct emergency drills, such as fire evacuation, chemical leak handling, etc., to improve employees' emergency response capabilities and self rescue and mutual aid abilities.
6, Safety inspection and supervision
Daily safety inspection: Warehouse management personnel should conduct regular safety inspections of the warehouse, including the storage status of materials, the use of handling tools, and the integrity of safety facilities, in order to promptly identify and eliminate safety hazards.
Safety supervision: Establish a safety supervision mechanism to supervise and inspect employees' compliance with safety rules, correct and punish behaviors that violate safety rules, and ensure effective implementation of safety rules.
7, Construction of Safety Culture
Establishing safety awareness: Through publicity, education, safety training, and other methods, establish employees' safety awareness and make them realize the importance of safety for individuals, enterprises, and society.
Encourage safe behavior: commend and reward employees who comply with safety rules and actively report safety hazards, creating a positive and uplifting safety culture atmosphere.
