- Abstract
Safety in warehouse becomes one of the important factors in manual order picking process. Workplace accidents can be caused by a variety of things, including the use of incorrect tools, a lack of work processes, inadequate equipment and safety equipment, and pickers' negligence. Picker safety must come first because any workplace accidents will affect the warehouse's productivity and the time it takes to complete the picking order. Safety aims to prevent, reduce and even eliminate the risk of work accidents (zero accident). Application of safety in the order picking system will certainly increase warehouse efficiency that impact to pickers productivity. Many businesses believe that implementing safety measures is simply a waste of money, but when all the risk variables are taken into account, safety is seen as a long-term investment that will pay off for the business, which will lower costs associated with workplace accidents and improve order fulfillment accuracy, both of which have an effect on consumer satisfaction.
