To ensure safety, workers are trained to use proper lifting techniques, wear protective gear such as gloves and steel-toed boots, and follow established protocols to prevent injuries. Teamwork is essential, as stackers frequently coordinate with machine operators and forklift drivers to keep the workflow efficient and safe.
