In the logistics and transportation industry, many people may first think of traffic accidents when it comes to labor-related injuries. However, in reality, labor accidents during loading and unloading operations on truck beds, platforms, inside warehouses, and at delivery destinations have become significant issues. Tasks such as loading and unloading from truck beds, transporting goods within warehouses, operating carts and dollies, and handling heavy items are daily routines. Because these are often seen as "normal tasks," they tend to be overlooked, and measures to address them are often postponed. Furthermore, many of the locations where accidents occur are at the shipper's or delivery destination, which are outside the company's own facilities, making it difficult for transportation companies to implement measures on their own. In companies where drivers and warehouse workers aged 50 and older support the operations, it is crucial to not only improve equipment, training, and rules but also to understand and visualize the risks associated with physical functions. This article organizes the types and causes of common labor accidents in the logistics industry, specific preventive measures, and prevention strategies utilizing physical function assessments, aimed at practical personnel. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
