Program Overview
This one-day safety and compliance program equips warehouse, logistics, and operations teams with essential knowledge to mitigate risks and maintain a safe, regulation-compliant work environment. The course covers key safety domains including fire prevention systems, racking inspection protocols, safe material handling, PPE usage, emergency response, and ergonomics. Participants gain clarity on relevant statutory standards—such as Factories Act, fire NOCs, material handling guidelines, and ISO 45001/OHS standards—while analyzing real-world warehouse incident case studies. Emphasis is placed on creating and auditing safety SOPs, signage, and training systems to foster a culture of prevention and accountability.
