Battery handling and warehouse equipment manufacturer Battery Handling Systems Inc. (BHS) has introduced online resources for the Canadian logistics industry.
Provincial and territorial regulations can vary greatly across Canada, so the BHS web pages provide an overview of laws that commonly affect forklift usage, warehouse design, and equipment safety. Two new pages now describe information about occupational safety and health (OSH) compliance, providing recommendations for battery handling and warehouse equipment so facilities can comply with relevant regulations.
St. Louis, Mo.-based BHS also offers similar pages for the U.S., Turkey, and Spain, along with battery handling tax-incentive information for 10 countries./p>
"It's often difficult to stay compliant when buying equipment in the logistics industry, so a centralized resource is quite valuable," BHS Marketing Manager Katy Cortinovis said in a release. "Our goal is to make facility outfitting a simple, straightforward process."
The pages covering Canada are intended to provide an overview of relevant regulations and guidelines, rather than an exhaustive list of provincial requirements. One page focuses solely on forklift battery-room regulations, while the other page focuses on warehouse equipment and general safety standards. Each provides a simplified list of relevant regulations, which warehouse managers can use when making their purchasing decisions.
