What is OHS Compliance?
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) compliance ensures worker safety as mandated under the Factories Act, 1948.
It applies directly to both industrial and commercial warehouses, following national labor and safety standards that protect employees and ensure lawful operations.
Key Safety Measures
Maintaining compliance requires implementing critical safety infrastructure and procedures, including:
Fire safety systems such as emergency exits, alarms, and fire extinguishers
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like helmets, gloves, reflective vests, and safety shoes
Clear hazard labeling, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and robust fall protection systems
Why It Matters
Adhering to OHS compliance brings measurable benefits:
Reduces the risk of legal penalties and operational shutdowns
Lowers incidents of workplace injuries and related health claims
Enhances the overall safety culture and efficiency within the warehouse environment
Compliance isn’t optional—it’s a foundation for long-term operational integrity and employee well-being.
