Warehouse safety protects the workforce and ensures operational continuity.
Meridian Fulfillment Center adheres to OSHA standards and maintains a culture
of safety awareness.

**Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):** Hard hats are required in areas
with overhead lifting. Safety vests make pedestrians visible to equipment
operators. Steel-toed boots protect feet from dropped items. Cut-resistant
gloves are mandatory for handling sharp objects or box cutters. PPE
violations result in immediate work stoppage.

**Forklift Safety:** Only certified operators may use powered industrial
trucks. Pre-operation inspections check brakes, horns, and hydraulics.
Speed limits are enforced in the warehouse. Pedestrian right-of-way is
absolute — forklifts must yield at all intersections. Loads are carried
low to maintain stability and visibility.

**Ergonomics:** Lifting guidelines limit single-person lifts to 50 pounds.
Team lifts or mechanical assistance are required for heavier items. Proper
lifting technique — bending at the knees, keeping the back straight — is
trained and enforced. Anti-fatigue matting reduces stress at standing stations.

**Emergency Procedures:** Fire extinguishers and first aid kits are located
every 100 feet. Emergency exits are clearly marked and remain unobstructed.
Evacuation routes are posted at every workstation. Quarterly drills ensure
personnel know assembly points and accountability procedures.

**Accident Reporting:** All injuries, near-misses, and equipment damage are
reported within the shift. Incident investigations identify root causes and
preventive actions. Safety committee meetings review trends and drive
improvement initiatives. Near-miss reporting is encouraged to prevent future
incidents.
