Warehouse work involves a specific combination of risks: racking that needs to be properly loaded and maintained, forklifts and pallet trucks operating alongside people on foot, and manual handling carried out at pace. Employers are required to manage all of this properly, not treat throughput targets as a reason to cut corners on safety.
We see a genuine pattern in these claims: understaffing, inadequate training, and pressure to work faster than is safe, all of which point back to the employer's responsibility rather than bad luck.
