NAICS 423930: Wholesale Trade / Wholesale Trade
This sector comprises establishments engaged in wholesaling merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise. Wholesalers sell goods to other businesses, retailers, and institutional clients.
Common workplace hazards include forklift and powered industrial truck incidents, ergonomic injuries from material handling, and slips, trips, and falls in warehouse environments. Workers may also face risks from falling objects, loading dock operations, and exposure to stored chemicals.
Wholesale trade employers must comply with OSHA General Industry standards (29 CFR 1910). Frequently cited areas include powered industrial trucks and forklifts (1910.178), hazard communication for chemicals in warehouses (1910.1200), walking-working surfaces (1910.22), machine guarding (1910.212), and electrical safety (1910.303). Warehouse and distribution operations share many of the same hazards as retail trade.
