Battery room compliance

The forklift battery maintenance and handling area is an important place within any warehouse -- but it can also be dangerous, even fatal, for the personnel who work with these forklift batteries if the right safety measures aren't taken.

To help keep personnel working at warehouses throughout the country safe while on the job, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has created a series of regulations that all warehouses must follow. For example, all personnel who work within the lift truck battery room are required to have received adequate safety and battery maintenance training.
