ABSTRACT

The retail, wholesale, and warehousing sectors are the sectors that handle, store, and disperse the largest quantities of goods and materials in the United States. Since all the potential hazards faced by these three sectors cannot be addressed in detail in one book it may be necessary to use Industrial Safety and Health for Infrastructure Services, Industrial Safety and Health for Administrative Services, and Industrial Safety and Health for People-Oriented Services to address other hazards. This chapter provides summaries regarding some of the other common hazards that confront workers in these sectors. Some of these hazards are also covered in some detail in the other three books mentioned above.
