Prioritizing Safety – Implementing Proactive Measures with Advanced WM Apps

Warehouse operations are high-risk environments, with hazards such as:
❌ Forklift accidents
❌ Improper material handling
❌ Slips, trips, and falls
❌ Non-compliance with OSHA & safety regulations

💡 Did you know?
📌 25% of warehouse injuries result from poor operational visibility.
📌 OSHA violations cost businesses millions annually.

SAP WM doesn’t offer built-in safety tracking, and while SAP EWM provides better compliance features, migrating is expensive. Instead, pre-packaged apps can enhance SAP WM to prevent accidents, ensure compliance, and improve warehouse safety.

Common Safety Risks in Warehouse Operations

📌 Lack of real-time hazard monitoring
📌 Limited tracking of safety incidents
📌 No automated safety checklists & compliance audits

These issues increase workplace accidents and put businesses at legal and financial risk.

How Pre-Packaged Apps Enhance Warehouse Safety in SAP WM

🔹 1. Real-Time Safety Monitoring & Alerts

💡 Challenge: Warehouse managers lack real-time visibility into safety risks.
✅ Solution: Pre-packaged apps track worker movements, forklift usage, and hazard zones, sending alerts to prevent accidents.

🔹 2. Automated Compliance Checklists & Audit Logs

💡 Challenge: Manual safety checks are time-consuming and prone to errors.
✅ Solution: Digitized safety checklists ensure OSHA & industry compliance, reducing violations and improving safety scores.

🔹 3. Incident Reporting & Root Cause Analysis

💡 Challenge: Safety incidents aren’t logged systematically, making it difficult to prevent future risks.
✅ Solution: Automated incident reporting helps identify patterns, allowing proactive safety measures.
