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.
OSHA requires all powered industrial truck operators to receive training that includes formal instruction (lectures, videos, written materials), practical training (demonstrations and exercises), and evaluation of the operator's performance. Operators must be evaluated at least once every three years and must receive refresher training after an accident, near-miss, or observed unsafe operation. The training must be specific to the type of truck being operated and the conditions at the workplace.
Data Source and Methodology

We strive for accuracy, but errors in data processing or establishment matching are possible. Penalty amounts reflect the latest penalty amounts on record in the DOL database and may differ from initial assessments or final amounts after informal conference, settlement, or judicial review. Establishment matching is based on employer name and location as reported in inspection records; some establishments may appear under multiple name variations. If you believe any record is inaccurate, please report it and we will investigate. This product uses the DOL Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the DOL.
