According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, warehousing and logistics are an industry that’s on the rise with statistics revealing there was an increase of around 25,247 new businesses across Australia in one year.

The increase in the warehousing and logistics industry has largely come from the development of the infrastructure that supports these businesses, including an investment of $70 billion over the last 7 years into road, rail, air, and water transportation. However, with this growth, also comes the logistics involved in running a streamlined and safe warehouse operation that is above all, profitable and safe.

For a warehouse to function at full capacity, it needs to be staffed by skilled people undertaking a variety of jobs and this is where warehouse owners are saving thousands of dollars each year.

Labour Hire For Warehouses can complement your  existing workforce, allowing you to:

Keep Your Warehouse Safe

Think that keeping your warehouse safe doesn’t save your money…well think again! Workplace safety is a major concern for warehouse environments. In fact, a Safe Work Australia – Workers Compensation Report found that the transport, postal and warehousing industry had the fourth-highest number of serious claims during its 2016-2017 period. Most of these claims were due to musculoskeletal issues related to repetitive physical labour. A warehouse pick packer, for example, is often required to undertake heavy lifting throughout their workday, leaving them vulnerable to workplace injuries and potential Workcover issues. Their absence not only slows down the distribution of the warehouse goods but can also become a nightmare when it comes to re-employing and training new staff to fulfil their role.
