Order Picker Safety

Order pickers can raise employees to the height at which they need to pick something. This is a lot safer than asking people to use ladders or to reach, especially when they need to pick things frequently. However, order pickers have their own hazards that operators need to be aware of. There are precautions they can take to make sure they use order pickers safely and avoid injuries.
