The Logistical Lowdown

Time may be money, but life is priceless; our mission for safety runs through every vein of Keller Logistics Group.  From the freight broker in Ohio, to the third-shift forklift driver in Colorado, all the way to the truck driver in West Virginia - Keller stresses the importance of safety in our everyday functions.  Because Keller consists of several remote entities, our Safety crew cannot be everywhere at once and we rely on all employees to promote and sustain a safety culture.

Actively participating in safety measures not only promotes, but helps to ensure healthier, happier and more efficient employees.

The number one goal for any organization should be the safety of its employees. Nowhere is that more true than in warehouse and/ or manufacturing settings, environments where there are ample opportunities for injury.

Prior to the creation of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 1971, nearly 14,000 workers were killed on the job each year. Fortunately, today’s workplaces are considerably safer; in fact, fatalities have dropped from 38 to 13 per day.

Keller is always looking for ways to improve warehouse safety for ALL employees AND visitors.
