Forklift Safety Cameras- A Potential Requirement in Warehouses and Storehouses
From decades ago, forklift operations have never been an easy task! Due to heavy loading, forklift operators tend to make blunders, which in turn leads to accidents and damage.
As a warehouse/storehouse manager, it would become a vital requirement to reduce such accidents, if not avoided. However, even if one considers intensive training, strategic hires, and equipment upgrades as significant steps taken, ‘Vision’ still remains the biggest challenge for the operators. The reach of forklift operators to visualize where they are and to verify mishandling of products is of utmost importance, failing which it would lead to serious damage of products, equipment and the worse, to people.

Wireless forklift camera is one of the excellent instruments which permit the operator to have different views around the lift truck. Its installation is absolutely simple and can be employed in the front, back, sides or anywhere around the lift truck where visibility is limited. Forklift safety Cameras contribute directly to increased visibility and thus an increase in productivity.
➢ It helps operators at warehouses to deal with a number of forklift concerns such as:
• High and low racking heights
• Double-deep racking
• Reading product and rack levels
• Indoor and outdoor lighting
• Video recording of human resources, product verification, and management and training opportunities.
Enhance Warehouse safety and reduce misses with SharpEagle forklift camera system!
Reach Out to Us
➢ The forklift camera system also works well with any kind of operational or attachment tasks, to list a few:
• Push pulls that push the load on cardboard
• Roll handling for paper and sheet metal
• Turret trucks with forks that swing in different ways
• Side Shifting Fork Position attachments (SSFP)• Clamps Read more: Forklift Safety Solutions for the Supply Chain and Warehousing Sector
➢ Having said that let's list out the impact and certain benefits of wireless forklift cameras for Warehouses/storehouses:
1. Improves Productivity:
Even the most experienced forklift operator experiences fatigue in the time spent analyzing to see behind and around the forklift. Wireless forklift cameras help in visualizing the entire field without letting the operator change its position, thus reducing neck and back strain and increasing productivity and force.
2. Eradicate Trial and Error Time:
The capability to see through the forklift safety cameras and to analyze where the forks fit well, certainly reduces repetitive trial and error time. At the same time, it also reduces the risk of damaging products, as operators have a clear view of where and how the forks are being placed.
3. Reduces Staffing:
Given that wireless forklift cameras provide clear visibility, it can help avoid hiring a guide to assist the forklift operator, thus reducing manpower.
4. Zeal for Young Operators:
Hiring new forklift operators can often be challenging. However, forklift cameras create a fun and interactive experience for the youths who can identify with the ‘video game connection’ they experience from operating a forklift.

I dont know why youve leapt to assuming this post was about the workplace? the original post mentioned friends, family, and going out for drinks, and it feels a bit like a bad faith read to assume this meant for you to try to talk about weird niche TV show interests to your boss, when it seems far more likely to be a post about not letting cringe culture rule your entire life, in a time when its so common for ppl to let themselves become beholden to tiktok microtrends, and being terrified that theyll lose all their friends if anyone finds out they enjoy steven universe.
It’s crazy and fucked up that being yourself is actually the solution.
#reblog#this feels like it was a personal post by the OP who has realized that stifling every interest and thing that they like to constantly#manage how they are percieved and avoid doing anything cringey or weird is uh fucking exhausting and terrible for your mental health#that has spread quite far past containment#and is now being entirely misread as reveal every weird little thing about yourself At Work.#maybe i simply dont know any better tho cos ive so far worked in warehouse grunt jobs with a bunch of other weird unhinged little freaks#im fairly certain that entire second shift had adhd or something similar enough lmao#i have weird colored hair i even went in a couple times with it styled into sort of a bihawk. i wore a shirt covered in furbies. i carry#a purse shaped like a trilobite. so far the most challenging thing for my coworkers seemed to be the fact that i continue to diligently#wear an n95 cos i dont want to get sick. i wasnt telling my coworkers about my depraved oc lore...but id talk about the newest season of#stranger things with them since i watched it. i talked about cats and fish. i talked about atla. i told a couple of them that i wanted to#learn how to walk on stilts. it was fine. yes youre going to have to do some amount of managing how your percieved. but if you let that#take priority over every aspect of your life youll go insane#and there are people who have let their fear of being judged take over every single aspect of their life#and they do genuinely need to hear that its okay to wear a cringey band Tshirt or whatever#also: i hope porfessionalism standards continue to get more lax. death to professionalism. i just got a job offer wearing a tacky print#short sleeve button down covered in sharks with a vampire squid necklace and jeans with a faded blue fauxhawk. this needs to be possible in#more workplaces and its stupid that it isnt. even if you are not expressing your true self at work for your own safety. you should at least#recognize that these standards are absurd and arbitrary. and if a coworker is brave enough to reveal a tiny bit of their authenticity to u#i think it would be kind to give them the space for that. even if its not your weird.#that said. in these warehouses there were also people who were unhinged in the bad way. the 'blasting alex jones at work' way.#and i was fairly cold to these people. i did my best to be purely professional with them and not express interest in getting to know them.#and i didnt love that the guy who thought stop signs = communism (derogatory from him) was also driving a forklift around#but to his credit he did at least obey the stop signs. so.#this job thats accepted me with the tacky fish shirt and blue hair doesnt pay super well and seems like its going to be a bit chaotic. but#we'll see. and if it doesnt work there i can always go back to that first warehouse job unfortunately. cos im pretty sure they wouldve let#me get away with so so so much

i’m trying to dredge through my various B&Q memories (and talking to friends who used to work with me in B&Q) for inspo and i just remembered something that happened and dear god. i’m imagining simon and price’s reaction to being in that situation.
so the store manager decides to reorganise the warehouse. he doesn’t check with price or more importantly simon about this. he just hops on the forklift, puts up the signage to say the forklift is in use and bans everyone from entering the warehouse (not an unreasonable request, pedestrians vs forklifts has never ended well historically, but the balls of that man to ban simon from his warehouse jeeeesus).
you don’t actually know that’s what he’s decided to do until the store manager is barking out over the tannoy “all available staff to the warehouse, that’s all available staff to the warehouse. NOW.” and because you’re a) available and b) nosey as fuck as you’ve never been allowed in simon’s warehouse, off you go.
when you arrive, it’s carnage. there is paint everywhere. for a horrible moment your brain provides you with the elevator scene from the shining but substitutes the river of blood with 625 litres of brilliant white matte emulsion instead.
“what the actual fuck”
aaaaaand that’s soap. he’s materialised out of thin air next to you and is surveying the damage with a visible aura of pure horror. your stomach lurches in sympathy because that’s his stock that’s slowly dripping from the abandoned pallet. and the racking. and the walls. jesus fucking christ. it’s everywhere. everything in a 2 metre radius is covered in paint. including the stock, the store manager, and simon.
simon, who has the store manager pinned by his neck to the wall next to the safety notice board.
you can’t see simon’s face, his shoulders look like they’re carved from granite with tension, but you can certainly hear what he’s shouting in the slowly reddening face of the store manager.
“you useless, dangerous cunt!”
you flinch backwards. you’ve never heard simon so angry.
“you could’ve fucking killed someone! you’re fucking lucky that you didn’t kill yourself!”
you turn wide eyed to stare at soap, who’s mouth is hanging open in shock. you turn back to the scene playing out in front of you as simon roars in rage again.
“what the fuck is wrong with you?! answer me!”
simon shakes the man in his grip but doesn’t actually let go. you watch as the store manager’s face turns puce in a combination of rage and trapped blood flow. oh christ, are you about to witness a murder? you think you’re about to witness a murder. what the fuck.
“simon. that’s enough.” price’s voice is a whip-crack of fury that breaks through the tension of the scene. you release a breath you didn’t even know you were holding as he wades into the fray. price stops behind simon just an arms length away.
you don’t hear what price says to simon, but he drops (actually drops, fucking hell) the store manager who splutters and coughs trying to catch his breath desperately.
“y-you’re - fired! what the fuck -!”
price grabs simon as the enraged man lunges towards the store manager.
“take a walk simon.”
you and soap hastily move out of the way of simon who storms out of the warehouse and onto the shop floor barking a stern “move!” to a mixed crowd of customers and colleagues desperate to get a glimpse at the soap opera levels of drama happening beyond the warehouse doors.
“you, don’t move” price points a threatening finger at the store manager before turning to face you and soap. “johnny, get over here. get the spill kit.”
soap snaps to attention and moves further into the warehouse, skirting the pooling paint as carefully as he can manage. you flex your hands nervously as the full force of price’s attention is aimed at you. god, you want to melt into your black safety boots to avoid his commanding tone and the banked fury that is present on every line on his face.
“love,” price’s tone softens slightly as he addresses you and you’re grateful for it, “go after simon. he needs a clean uniform.”
you nod and spin on your heel, before you leave the warehouse you chance a glance back over your shoulder and see price looming over the store manager.
as you make your way across the shop floor, you have the horrible realisation that someone is definitely getting fired today. you shoot up a prayer to the retail gods that it won’t be simon.
#retail hell au#cod fic#captain john price#simon ghost riley#john soap mactavish#this is based off a completely true event#including the stock flow manager pinning the store manager by the neck to the wall#unedited so please forgive the typos/grammatical errors#also tenses? i don’t know her

Child's Play 2 review:
That QA person should be taken out back and shot. That is NOT proper disposal practice. That fucker should have been marked and labeled and taken to a shredder AT MINIMUM. Disposing of faulty product like that makes it SO easy for it to get stolen. Or escape, in this case.
Who the fuck is running the warehouse?? This is horrendous organization, those corridors are not big enough for a forklift, and it's like a fucking maze in there. At LEAST have tape on the floors indicating a safe exit. This is not up to fire code. Why are the boxes just out there in the open, they should at LEAST be plastic wrapped as well as taped.
What the fuck sorta willy wonka ass factory is this??? Why is it so easy to get onto the conveyor belts? Why is tHE MOLTEN PLASTIC NOT SEALED IN??? WHY IS IT JUST LEAKING INTO THE OPEN AIR?? THAT'S HOW YOU GET POISONED BY FUMES!! WHY CAN A CHILD JUST OPEN A VALVE TO THE MOLTEN PLASTIC?????
WHERE THE FUCK IS OSHA???? HELLO??? DID THE SECURITY WORKER NOT GET THE HOURS OF SAFETY TRAINING???? HELLO??? HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF LOTO???

Emma and Ethan sentences!! Go!! 😤👀
EHEHEHEHEHEHE I had just finished some so I shall count it.
-
“Okay… okay,” Ethan says, mind clearly going a mile a minute. “Take her and find a car.”
“What, no,” Simon says as Ethan starts to stand up. He grabs Ethan and pulls him back behind cover. “They’re fucking looking for you, Ethan. There are cameras all the fuck over this place—”
“Yeah, I know,” Ethan says. “I’m going to cause a distraction, lead them away. You take Emma and get her out of here. I’ll find you.”
“Do I get a say in this?” Emma asks, voice cracking. Simon glances at her—she’s furious, scowling; he recognizes that look, that’s the look she was wearing before she ran the fuck away in the middle of a train depot in Russia—
Not the time. He turns back to Ethan. “They know what we look like, too,” he hisses. “What are you going to do, stand in the street and yell at them until they see you, and then run?”
“I don’t think you want me to answer that question,” Ethan hedges.
“Ethan.”
“I’ll be fine,” Ethan says. “Get her to safety, I’ll find you.”
“We’re not just going to let you run into the middle of people shooting at you,” Emma snaps. “Are you insane?”
Ethan looks over Simon’s shoulder and grins. “There have been reports,” he says, and then slips out of his jacket sleeves, leaving Simon holding it, and is gone before Simon can say anything.
“Fuck,” Simon says, with feeling, and reaches up to rip his wig off, shrugging out of his own coat as he goes.
“What is he—what are you doing?” Emma snaps, wringing her hands.
“If I’m getting a car, they’re going to be able to see me driving,” Simon says grimly. “They’ve seen this get-up; we’ll be safer if I look different.” He shrugs on Ethan’s jacket, hauls out a makeup wipe and scrubs at his face, double checks in the reflection of the metal forklift behind him—good enough. He flips his coat inside out and hands it to Emma. “Put that on,” he says, “and keep your head down when we run. If we get outside and blend into the crowd, we’ll be able to at least get to a car.”
“You’re just going to leave him?” Emma asks, fire in her eyes and jaw set to furious, and—oh, he thinks. Yeah, he remembers why he liked her so much now. “He saved my life?”
“Of course I’m not going to leave him,” Simon says. “We’re getting a car, and then we’re coming back for him. But I can’t do that if we’re trapped in this fucking warehouse while he gets shot, Emma, so we need to move. Now.”
Emma blinks at him, mouth hanging open. They stare at each other for a heartbeat, and then another.
“Right,” Emma says, and snatches Simon’s coat, shrugging it on. “Okay. Car, and we come back for him.”
“Car, and we come back for him,” Simon agrees. He checks sightlines—it is what it is. “Keep your head down, and that collar pulled up over your face, and then stay low in the car.”
“Ready?”
“Ready,” Emma says. She holds out her hand.
Simon takes it—just like old times—and they move.

Blog 6: How safe are you at work?(Historical interpretation)
In this week’s blog prompt, we were tasked with unpacking the quote:
“There is no peculiar merit in ancient things, but there is merit in integrity, and integrity entails the keeping together of the parts of any whole, and if these parts are scattered throughout time, then the maintenance of integrity entails a knowledge, a memory, of ancient things. …. To think, feel or act as though the past is done with, is equivalent to believing that a railway station through which our train has just passed, only existed for as long as our train was in it.” – Edward Hyams, Chapter 7, The Gifts of Interpretation
Collecting and fixing the broken historical artifact helps discover the knowledge that accompanies the artifact.
I believe that Edward wants to express that historical artifacts and evidence of the past by themselves have no value. However, by collecting these often degraded and broken parts, we can discover a story, lost knowledge, or memory of the past. He also uses a train simile to explain that one cannot ignore the past just because it has already happened. It usually teaches us a lesson that helped us improve to the present. Edward’s use of simile, a figurative language, is like what Alan Leftridge talked about when discussing ‘Interpretive Titles and Leads’ in the assigned reading, chapter 14 of the textbook. This helps the reader better visualize and relate the meaning behind Edward’s statement as most people have ridden a train, allowing them to easily visualize and understand.
Relating this quote back to interpretating history, Edward mentions how learning about past helps discover lost knowledge or warnings. This was also mentioned in this week’s second assigned reading, chapter 15 of the textbook, “Another reason to interpret history is to remember. To remember not only the happy stories of our past, but also the tragic ones”. The textbook goes on to mention historic conflicts and events, but I want to relate this to work safety and OSHA.
There is a common saying in the workforce especially centered around manual labour and heavy equipment: “All safety regulations are written in blood”. This saying wants to drive home the message that all work safety regulations and rules that workers find annoying only exist due to a worker in the past getting seriously hurt by a workplace incident causing preventative measures to be made afterwards. While working daily, it is important to follow safety regulations and rules as YOU might be the next OSHA case that rules are written about to prevent serious injury.
By observing the preventative rules, watching recreated incident videos, and reading case files, a working can paint a picture and gain knowledge of the incident that happened in the past that they can prevent now. This is in my opinion exactly what Edward Hyams was talking about in his quote but in a different circumstance compared to my interpretation.
As someone who has worked in many different warehouses and distribution centers, I am fairly comfortable working around loud heavy machinery and forklifts moving around with their horns blaring. Safety is always important in warehouses as the employers do not want to get sued however, safety incidents still occur. One of the biggest safety rules is always wearing high-visibility clothing in the facility so people operating heavy machinery can notice the employee easily. However, all employees are given the same high-visibility clothing so after a period of time, employees unconsciously start tuning out the high-visibility clothing as they become used to them. This is why the saying “All safety regulations are written in blood” resonates with me, as I believe high visibility acclimatization is going to lead to an incident that will create a new OSHA law sooner rather than later.

Forklift Attachments
What are some Forklift Attachments?
Forklifts are undeniably workhorses in warehouses and industrial settings, but their abilities extend far beyond basic lifting and transporting. With the help of a diverse range of forklift attachments, these machines transform into multifaceted tools, tackling a wider array of tasks and materials. Let's delve into the world of forklift attachments and explore some of the most common ones:
1. Fork Extensions: Reach new heights and conquer deep storage racks with fork extensions. These handy attachments extend the standard length of the forks, allowing you to access pallets in hard-to-reach locations or handle oversized loads with ease.
2. Sideshifters: Imagine trying to precisely position a pallet in a narrow aisle without perfect alignment. That's where sideshifters come in. These ingenious attachments enable the lateral movement of forks, granting you the flexibility to fine-tune the position of your load for seamless and efficient placement.
3. Clamps: Not all loads are created equal. For specific materials like barrels, rolls, or cartons, clamps offer a secure and stable solution. These attachments grip the load firmly, preventing them from slipping or toppling during transport, ensuring the safety of both your goods and your operators.
4. Rotators: Need to effortlessly rotate a bulky object for further processing or positioning? Look no further than rotators. These attachments allow your forklift to rotate the load a full 360 degrees, streamlining tasks like emptying containers or maneuvering large equipment.
5. Work Platforms: Forget the ladder and elevate your personnel to new heights with work platforms. These forklift attachments create a safe and stable platform for workers to access elevated areas, eliminating the need for separate equipment and enhancing efficiency.
Beyond these common attachments, the world of forklift accessories is vast and diverse. From drum grapples for secure handling of barrels to carton clamps specifically designed for boxed goods, there's a specialized attachment to address nearly any material handling challenge.
Remember, choosing the right forklift attachments depends on your specific needs and work environment. Consider factors like lift capacity, application, and safety features to ensure you select the perfect tools to optimize your forklift's capabilities and enhance your operations.
For instance, if you work in the lumber industry, you might find lumber forks incredibly useful for safely transporting wooden planks. Conversely, if your operations involve frequent maintenance tasks at varying heights, investing in a forklift boom attachment could significantly improve your efficiency and safety.

Secure Your Warehouse Success With Cutting-Edge Forklift Safety Solutions
Workplace safety is an essential concern, especially when it comes to heavy equipment like forklifts. In industrial warehouses, workforce safety is the topmost concern for the managers at work. While meeting business demands, opting for the right forklift safety solution can help mitigate accidents in high-risk industry settings.
Forklift accidents can cause extreme injuries and tragedies. Hence it is crucial to prioritise safety standards by constantly reviewing and sustaining necessary forklift safety devices. This helps businesses significantly lessen damages and provide more acceptable working environments.
With the help of forklift safety lights, both employees and pedestrians can keep themselves safe and sound from unwanted injuries. This guide will help you understand the safety devices and equipment provided in the forklift and why they are your best bet for workplace safety.
What is the role of forklifts in industrial warehouses?
Helps move multiple items at a time: Industrial warehouses often require employees to handle heavy machinery, which can be physically demanding. Forklift safety solutions ease this burden by enabling workers to move heavy devices and pallet containers effortlessly, enhancing productivity and reducing physical strain.
Provides enhanced safety to employees: Working without a forklift in industrial settings can expose employees to risky tasks involving pulleys, cables, and ropes. By adopting high-capacity forklifts equipped with safety features, warehouses can create a secure working environment, safeguarding the well-being of their employees.
Ensures minimal noise: A quieter workplace is conducive to higher productivity and employee well-being. Forklift safety solutions incorporating noise reduction mechanisms contribute to a peaceful atmosphere, promoting a more efficient and comfortable working environment.
Acts as an environment-friendly vehicle: Modern electric forklifts are environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional forklifts while emitting zero Carbon Dioxide gases. Businesses can opt for electric forklifts to reduce their carbon footprint and comply with sustainability goals while maintaining the capability to lift heavy loads.
Offers higher lifting capacity: Forklifts equipped with extendable arms and essential accessories provide substantial lifting capacity, enabling warehouses to handle large quantities of products efficiently and with ease.
Heat elimination technique: Forklift safety lights designed with insulation materials and heat elimination techniques not only enhance the lights' lifespan but also minimise the risk of sparking, ensuring a safer working environment.
High-endurance: Using tempered glass for the Blue Safety Lights on forklifts makes them resilient to water, shocks, and high temperatures. This durability ensures the lights can withstand harsh industrial conditions, making them a reliable and long-lasting safety solution.
Forklift Safety Devices
Forklift Camera System: Many businesses use advanced forklift cameras to enhance workplace safety. These sophisticated solutions offer real-time 360° vision of the area behind the forklift, improving operator awareness and preventing potential accidents. Several camera options are available for businesses, primarily the explosion-proof range of cameras to foster a safer work environment by eliminating blindspots for their workers through a centrally controlled safety system operated using a SIM card or Wi-Fi.
Forkview Camera System: Forklift or reach-truck operators need a clear view to fetch the goods stacked at a height. This is where our fork view camera system comes in. With a wireless screen for seamless transmission, a monitor screen, a dynamic cable, a powerful battery, and water and dust-resistant glass, it is an ideal choice for the extreme temperatures of your warehouse or industry setting.
Forklift Wireless Camera System: A valued addition to forklift safety, the forklift wireless camera system is a comprehensive solution for monitoring the surroundings of the forklift. The system offers a wide range of features from automatic backlighting to recording, light control, reverse gear activated screen, and multi-image adjustment. Furthermore, with its powerful battery, TFT LCD digital wireless display, and wireless camera with IR, the product has emerged as a forklift must-have.
Forklift Radar Blind Spot Detection System: If you manage an ATEX-z, Forklift Radar Blind Spot Detection System is a highly effective safety measure. The system is made of polycarbonate material and equipped with 24Ghz radar sensors, multiple detection modes, a multi-zone warning system, and a display unit - making it a tailored safety solution for high-temperature zones.
Warehouse Traffic Management System: Forklift safety cannot solely pivot around the operator's awareness of his surroundings. Installing warehouse traffic management system devices like bright LED lights, red spots, thumb levers, premium quality sensors, and warning alarms provides timely warnings to drivers and significantly reduces the risk of forklift-related mishaps.
Forklift Anti-Collision System: Besides the operator, your safety equipment must also factor in the safety of the pedestrians and the vehicle itself, particularly against the blind zones. That's where the forklift anti-collision system comes in. The system's radar comes with an ultrasonic probe that calculates the distance of the forklift from the nearest obstacle in a 3 meters radius. It then displays the visuals of the operator's LED screen and alerts the driver of blind spots, if any. In addition to providing enhanced safety and visibility for heavy machinery, the system is waterproof and an economical choice against accidental cover.
Forklift Speed Limiters: A leading cause of forklift fatalities is the overspeeding of heavy machinery. Forklift speed limiters allow the operators to set the speed limit of the forklift from 6-30 km/hr using a manual mode or a remote control. As an additional layer of safety, the customizable warning alarm alerts the operator of overspeeding. These speed limiters have a three-fold advantage for your business - improved road safety, increased fuel efficiency, and reduced carbon emissions.
By offering a wide range of advanced safety solutions, including forklift camera systems, brake maintenance support, and fork guidance lasers, cutting-edge systems by SharpEagle provide businesses with valuable options to enhance forklift safety across various aspects of warehouse operations.

“The Matrix” by Upton Sinclair and HP Lovecraft
or “How Robin Swift Learned He Wanted to Work at Amazon by Working at Amazon”
It was in the midst of an aimless June that I accepted the job at the Fulfillment Center (a kinder term for Bezos’s infamous Amazon warehouses), and somehow found confidence in my chosen major, Data Engineering, in the middle of a harrowing matrix of pallets racks and blasphemous turnover rates.
Let me first emphasize that I, with a clear mind and undisturbed faculties, would never have chosen an Amazon ‘Fulfillment Center’ as the place of my self-actualization. However, my mother—worried about financing my spending and, more importantly, my lack of work experience—had been the one to urge me to apply, as she had quit her own Amazon warehouse job only a few months prior.
The exhaustion on her face after a hard day in the freezer did not speak to a job appealing to kids my age, whom I knew to work the front at trendy cafés or as busboys in the back, but who was I to turn up my nose at a job my own mother had worked? Especially when I was struggling to find a better one to occupy my time.
Thus, my coming of age was to be set against the backdrop of towering pallets and “unsafe conditions,” as the great US Department of Labor put it.
…
“Thud, thud, thud,” echoed the sound of my steel-toed boots, like ominous sonar pulses broadcasting my location for Big Brothers unseen, as I reported for my first day.
They were steel-toed, my ‘Learning Ambassador’ Tyderius (“But You Can Call Me Tee”) had explained that day, because we legally were not allowed on the 'Order Picking Floor' without them.
He said that as easily as he did the various other protocols he claimed ensured our safety, such as my colleagues and I being armored to the gills in protective goggles, hi-vis vests, and IDs. Most of them, including Tee, were years older than me—many of them with children my age, and, therefore, with nothing to say to me, the kid who hadn’t yet found his place in the grand scheme of things. Well, most of them excepting Tee.
He was both disarming/charming and stuck with the unenviable task of training 30 newcomers on the usage of Order Pickers (OPs), which were the Amazon equivalents of warehouse forklifts in all ways except for how you strapped onto the ‘fork’ as you drove.
“Well, young man,” Tee had said, with a reassuring smile, when I’d questioned him on the speed limit of these OPs, “You mustn’t take too much stock in what people around here say. They’ll tell you that speed is all that matters, but we’ll go easy on your first month. Your safety, of course, is our biggest priority.”
That first week it was a chaos of hours-long shifts in the bowels of the warehouse pallet-matrix, never sure of where you were except in relation to the other boots, sonar pulses giving each other away, with only our mandated three 20-minute respites in between. On my second, I didn’t need to be a poet to describe how I had hesitated at the sight from my Order Picker at its zenith, placing inventory on the highest of pallets.
From above, it was like looking down the maw of a great beast – shelves and shelves of sky-high pallet racks like teeth in a cavernous gullet, with only your harness to cling to keep from falling in.
Thenceforth, it was like frenzy had been unleashed upon our 30-man herd.
It was quickly becoming apparent that the reason T was training 30 people at once was because the pressure for high Pick Rates, our inventory rate per shift, had eaten through those who had come before us and were now eating at us. We were no longer in the bowels but the intestines—the claustrophobic linings of the matrix digesting us faster and faster in its Kafkaesque acid nightmare of Pick Rates and accuracy measures, especially as our weakest links began thinning the safety of the herd.
Surprisingly, though, despite my general youth and aimlessness, I was not one of the culled.
It was during that zenith of my second week that I had the epiphany that saved me:
The matrix was not chaos, but—in fact!—order and organization at a magnitude far beyond what a single human could ever conceive.
It was self-evident by its very structure, which I saw as I looked across the tops of hundreds of rows of shelves containing hundreds of pallets packed with thousands of boxes of inventory. The only thing keeping me from getting swallowed was the harness I was clinging to. The machine at my back: my Order Picker.
The screen between me and my machine told me everything—from where I needed to go to how fast I needed to do it—and saved me from trying to conceive of the scale of the impossible.
Thus, the only way to survive was to plug in, physically strapping yourself into your Order Picker and mentally strapping yourself to its screen, becoming one with your personal shuttle of order and efficiency as a cog in the greater machine.
...
In the end, the Fulfillment Center, for me, was only for the summer. Just as it was for my mother’s own Amazon freezer stint. Even then, I didn’t stay beyond Tee’s one month of leeway. My eyes had been opened.
My future would be as one with the machines in Data Engineering.
By enabling the data gathering that scientists need to speak with machines, you become the interface between man-made horrors and man himself, the way I had been and will continue to be at the matrix.
Long after leaving Amazon and my Order Picker behind.

Sooooooooooooo~
Not only have I been doing overtime this week, but we got a new hire....
For reference, I'm a woman under 30 (at least until next year 😅) working not just in a warehouse, but the maintenance department. And on the produce side, so most of the area is cold, especially down by the freezer section.
Now, the maintenance shop isn't 'cold', but there is a garage type door at the back for big deliveries from outside, and my section (I work on the huge batteries that power the jacks/forklifts) has TWO doors that exit out to the refrigerated warehouse part for people to drive in for battery switches. So my section can get cold. Jacket/hoodie recommended.
Now, with working with batteries, in a warehouse, not only do you have to worry about acid (and it eating holes in your clothes), but the batteries are also dirty. Like, black dust dirty.
AND we have a 'uniform'. Basically, thick work jeans that are provided ASAP, a black shirt that says maintenance, and slip and oil resistant, steel toe boots, which you are required to buy before you start and are compensated for with a receipt shown with a dollar limit that is very fair.
So why is it that this new hire, who is also a woman (and in her early twenties), thought it'd be ok to show up in leggings, what I can only call glorified slippers, and like 3-4 inch long acrylic nails?
So of course I told her she couldn't work in what she was wearing. For one, it's cold. Two it's dangerous to have soft shoes like that. If a battery falls on your foot in something like that, your ENTIRE foot is going to be broken. And three...leggings aren't going to hold up if you get acid splashed on them...
So I had to take her to my boss to see if there was ANYTHING that could be done, like spare clothes or boots or something. And she was simply told to go home and change. She was hired like a week ago, so she had time to go out and buy boots. And simple jeans would suffice until her work jeans came in, I could handle anything even remotely involving acid until then.
And as is typical of this younger generation, instead of considering that all this was for her safety (and she was told all this when she was hired and given a list of requirements and recommendations for her boots and where she could get them), we were saying this to get her fired, or we were in some way trying to 'control' her and just a bunch of BS.
Um....I don't think she still has a job but....if she does come back? I'm not looking forward to working with her. She's going to be nothing but problematic, I think.

The Common Reasons For Warehouse Accidents
The warehouse has become a dangerous place for you. The effectiveness of warehouse accidents will have a direct impact on the effectiveness of the business. It has become critical to adopt warehouse safety protocols in order to avoid these types of hazards. The following are some of the most prevalent causes of warehouse accidents, as well as some solutions to prevent them.
Accidental fall: Vertical tubes are commonly used in warehouses to store items. These storage units are frequently tall, which may be the cause of a fall. Almost half of all workplace injuries occur at a height of 15 feet or less. It is critical to prevent these types of mishaps by restricting workers from mounting ladders to collect things and other associated mechanisms utilised in the warehouse, such as an automated system or a forklift.
Slips And Trips: A simple slip on the warehouse's moist flooring can cause significant damage. That is why a slip is one of the most common injuries in the warehouse management process. There are several methods for avoiding these types of accidents. Such as making sure your warehouse is well-organized, filling gaps in the flooring, and so on.
Motion: Every year, the most injuries in the warehouse are caused by motion. This involves repeated action and improper lifting of goods. There are several ergonomic methods for preventing this that benefit the workforce and are worth considering. Start with the fundamental warehouse automation procedure.
Poisonous And Hazardous Substances: The poisonous and hazardous commodities, such as corrosive acid, are the second most dangerous items in the warehouse. You must guarantee that your employees are properly equipped for handling these types of items. Gloves, ventilation, a face mask, and other such items are examples. Make sure your warehouse has a designated area for handling anything poisonous or possibly harmful. Train your employees in various tactics so that they can respond fast and avert major harm.
Anyspaze, one of the best warehouse management companies in India, has professionals on board who are well-known for doing a thorough analysis of the business requirements of any sector while keeping all safety protocols in mind.

Okay so, I work in a warehouse for a big bad company that we all know and hate (they just have scheduling options so I can go to college and work pretty much whatever hours i want so…😒🖐🏻 gotta stay for now; we’re also gonna pretend we don’t know the company I’m talking abt for the sake of online safety purposes) but we got this new manager in our maze of leadership and he’s one of those ones you’d catch trynna go between the gate bars on the pasture and not over istfg like… we have speed bumps galore in our parking and he’ll fly through going like 20 ignoring the 🛑 signs and cross walks yeah?? So I’m doing my job on a pit (heavy drive equipment like forklifts, pallet riders, cage puller, etc) and I’m mentioning a really big safety issue and he brushes it off like I didn’t almost get the stupid knocked out’o me by an even bigger pit cause they didn’t stop at a 🛑 sign. He pulls this binder out and goes “well the standard for driving pit is..” like… 😒 I slapped that binder out of his hand so fast and he stared at me like a fckin white woman staring at her ill behaved kid in Walmart like 👁👁 w the pursed lips and all right?? I told this man that not only does he not drive pit himself but he shouldn’t be textbook handling a safety concern when “safety is our #1 priority!” And he tells me I need to watch my attitude so I told him to watch how much shine he puts on the top of his head cause maybe there were so many pit accidents that that night because the 💡 were reflecting like high vis. Asked if he used shine or if he spit shines, he left me alone for awhile and then came and said he took care of the safety concern by holding a meeting with our safety crew about the failure of pit stops. Well HE GOT ON A PIT AND I WAS BEHIND HIM 🫣 this man drove straight into a barrier and then looked at me like 😳 I reported his accident so fckin fast like 😈🤠 (cause we have to, but also bc he was abt to just drive off like it didn’t happen and like??) the safety man was so fckin happy abt it, cause so far everyone’s had little scuffs with this guy apparently and I was one of the last people hed done it to ig since I don’t interact with many people at work; just there to pay bills tbf 🐻 (sorry for this being so long 😭🖐🏻)
istg managers are the most annoying ppl in the world 😭😭 so glad he got his karma 🙏

people you meet at the end of the world
(this is a snippet of chapter 1 of my boatem crew zombie apoc story, which you can read the whole thing of on ao3 here! please enjoy!)
“Mumbo?” Grian’s voice rang out through the walkie-talkie strapped to Mumbo’s utility belt. Mumbo climbed down off the forklift he was currently trying to hotwire, a project of his he’s been focused on for the past week or so, and rubbed the sweat off his forehead. He unclipped the walkie-talkie from his belt and brings it up to his face.
“Yes, Grian?” After a moment, he decided to add “Over,” a nasty behavior Grian’s picked up that annoys the pants off Mumbo. Is it really that hard to use the correct walkie-talkie lingo, even if it’s just the two of them communicating?
“Can you come check something out?” Grian’s voice came out through the walkie-talkie, only slightly static-y.
“Sure, where are you? Over.” Mumbo sayid, turning around and beginning to walk. He picked up his wrench first, slinging it over his shoulder as he begins to peruse the aisles of rafters they’d pushed back to make more space for meandering about.
“South Left corner. There’s something weird going on.”
Mumbo rolled his eyes as he changed his direction. With Grian’s tone of voice, he was almost certain that he was being pranked by his friend, a hobby of Grian’s that never seemed to get old for the blonde. Regardless, Mumbo trekked on anyway. His eyes skimmed the shelves as he walked cautiously. Even though they’d been in the warehouse for almost three months now and he was certain of it’s safety, the need to look over his shoulder had been hardwired into his brain ever since the first time a zombie snuck up on him. Maybe that’s why he brought his trusty wrench with him to ‘check out’ whatever prank Grian was cooking up, even though he was certain there was no looming danger ahead.
As he finally reached the corner of the warehouse Grian was in, he was trying to prepare himself to get duped, but instead was left frozen in place.
Grian stood four feet away from a large patch of dark blue mold that was steadily consuming the entire south left corner of the warehouse. It looked like mold at first glance, but when he looked harder, it seemed wet almost, and seemed to glisten in the industrial lighting of the warehouse. The weird mold had darting lines all over it, almost like veins, that seemed to glow dimly with an almost sickening bright blue color. It seemed as if it was sprouting some type of flower or blossom in certain spots, and weird particles were being produced by it.
“Um,” was all Mumbo could say.
“Yeah,” Grian added, looking perplexed. His walkie was still in hand, his glasses beginning to slip down his face. “What is this stuff? I’ve never seen anything like it.”
“Dunno,” Mumbo said, taking a hesitant step closer towards the dark mold-goo substance. He kneeled down to get a closer look at it, narrowing his eyes. It seemed to glisten, like it was trying to mirror the dark night sky. A sense of curiosity rolled over him, and he slowly reached out a hand to touch it.
“What are you doing?” Grian hissed, grabbing onto Mumbo’s shirt from behind and yanking him back to the best of his ability. “Don’t touch that! It could be venomous!”
“Poisonous,” Mumbo corrected, standing back up with Grian’s help.
“Whatever,” the blonde rolled his eyes, finally pushing his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. “How did we not realize this stuff was here? It looks like it’s been growing for days.”
“Maybe it grows really fast?” Mumbo offered, scratching the back of his neck under the collar of his tropical shirt. Usually they layered up, but because most days they were holed up in the warehouse, they could wear clothing that showed more skin, like one of Mumbo’s favorite tropical button-ups that Grian loved to poke fun at him for.
“Could be,” Grian said, surveying the mold-goo again. “Whatever it is, we need to get rid of it. I’m more than a hundred percent certain it’s dangerous and could kill us.”
“How are we gonna get rid of it? We don’t even know what it is.”
“I bet we could scrape it off with a shovel or something. Ooh! Here’s an idea, go grab your forklift! We’ll use that to scrape it off.”
“What! Mate, I haven’t even gotten it working, and even if I did, you really think it would be effective in scraping whatever this is off our warehouse floor?”
Grian shrugged with a sly smile. “Worth a shot!”
“You are so-! Y’know, you are so destructive, you just want to use my stuff to destroy it for fun. I’m gonna go grab some shovels, and don’t you even think—”
Grian rolled his eyes. “I know, cross my heart!” Grian drew an ‘X’ over his heart, but the cheeky smile on his face wasn’t convincing. Mumbo rolled his eyes as he walked off to find some shovels and a wheelbarrow, which were conveniently items that had come along with their warehouse.
The shovels did not work. Whatever the mold-goo substance was, it was a nasty bugger that was practically cemented onto the floor and walls, and even seemed to be creeping up onto the ceiling.
“What now?” Mumbo asked as he set the shovel aside. Looking over the substance again, it seemed as if it had moved closer than before, like it was growing and steadily creeping closer to them.
Grian chewed on his cheek for a moment, before Mumbo could see an idea bloom across his face. His eyes lit up and a smirk found it’s way across his mouth, and there was always that mischievous glint in his eyes that seemed almost superficial. Mumbo knew whatever idea he was cooking up, it was going to be disastrous.
“Let’s burn it off!” Grian said, pulling a small handheld lighter out of his shirt pocket, flicking off the cap almost instinctively.
“Are you joking, mate?” Mumbo asked, breath practically knocked out of him. “It’ll just smoke up the whole building! Who knows if the fire will even spread?”
“Let’s find out!” Grian said, leaning down and activating the lighter. The small flame came to life immediately, and Grian held it out against the nearest trunk of the mold-goo, touching the flame against the glimmering surface and waiting to see if it would take.
Immediately the warehouse was filled with a piercing and high-pitched shrieking, one that could match Grian’s squeals of hilarity. Grian was knocked backward as Mumbo keeled over, palms pressed indefinitely over his ears. The shriek seemed to be coming from all around him, and even seemed to shake the ground. It went on for only a few seconds, but it felt like hours. Mumbo grabbed hold of the collar beneath Grian’s sweater and yanked him back away from the mold-goo, where they both prominently collapsed.
“What just happened?” Grian asked exasperatedly. Mumbo’s ears were still ringing even as the shriek dissipated, and it took a second for the world to stop spinning around.
“I think it's just… Screamed at us?”
“Now that just isn’t right,” Grian said.
