Warehouses provide many opportunities for accidents to occur. Warehouses are often equipped with heavy machinery, equipment, high ledges, walkways, and dangerous industrial chemicals. More than 35,000 people get seriously injured in warehouses every year with more than 60,000 workers sustaining non-serious injuries. About 100 warehouse workers are wrongfully killed in warehouse accidents every year. Accidents happen for a variety of reasons, a high number of them occur due to defective or improperly used machinery.

Almost all warehouse workers use some sort of equipment or machinery to do their jobs. Working with any type of complex or heavy machinery on a job carries some risk. Large, heavy and complex machinery requires adequate training and skills to operate it safely and properly. Even with mandatory safety measures in place, machinery accidents in warehouses can still occur for a number of reasons. Manufacturing defects, mechanical breakdowns or other unforeseen circumstances can cause a worker serious injuries. Safety regulations and properly maintained equipment are two vital components of preventing injury.

In many cases, negligence of some kind is to blame for these warehouse injuries.
