When it comes to labor accidents in the logistics and transportation industries, many people may first think of traffic accidents. However, in reality, labor accidents during loading and unloading operations on truck beds, platforms, inside warehouses, and at delivery destinations have become significant issues. Loading and unloading from truck beds, transporting goods within warehouses, operating carts and dollies, and handling heavy items are daily tasks that are repeated every day.
