Warehouses are fast-paced environments — and with forklifts, heavy loads, stacked shelves, and tight spaces, they’re also full of hidden hazards.
From slips and trips to crush injuries and chemical exposure, warehouse incidents can be severe, costly, and even fatal. That’s why Warehouse Safety Training is essential for every employee, supervisor, and logistics operator.
At Ireland Safety Training, we offer a fully online Warehouse Safety Course, certified and trusted by businesses across Ireland and the UK.
Under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 (Ireland) and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (UK), employers are required to:
Provide proper safety training

Protect staff from known warehouse hazards
Failing to train your warehouse team can lead to:
HSA or HSE investigations
Penalties or shutdowns
Workplace injuries and compensation claims
Top warehouse accidents include:
Slips, trips, and falls
Manual handling injuries

Falling objects from racking
Exposure to noise, dust, or chemicals
