Course Description

INTRODUCTION

A safe, orderly, efficient warehouse is a key to a successful operation. The warehouse plays an essential role in the way goods are sent, received, stored, and circulated throughout the facility.

So, it's especially important to pay close attention to safety in the warehouse.
