A major shift is coming to warehouse safety in the state of New York. Starting June 1, 2025, large warehouse employers must comply with the Warehouse Worker Protection Act — a groundbreaking law that makes ergonomics and MSD injury prevention a requirement.
In this TuMeke podcast, host Matt Jeffs sits down with two industry experts to discuss this new legislation and what it means for businesses with New York-based facilities.
Here are some highlights of their discussion:
The law applies to any warehouse employer in New York State with:
These companies will be required to implement robust Injury Reduction Programs (IRPs) that include:
It’s not just best practice anymore. It’s enforceable — and non-compliance comes with real consequences.
As Scott and Alicia both explained, warehousing is a high-strain, high-repetition environment. And yet, most ergonomics programs still rely on outdated observation tools, infrequent assessments, or reactive interventions.
“We’re asking people to perform like industrial athletes,” Scott said. “We need to train and support them accordingly.”
Alicia emphasized the limitations of checklists and generic safety protocols. Her background in physical therapy lets her spot risks early — and solve them with solutions that are tailored, affordable, and practical.
Her favorite example? Identifying a risk that could be reduced by 20% using materials already on-site, at zero cost.
A major theme in the episode was the power of video-based risk analysis — especially using tools like TuMeke.
Alicia explained how TuMeke’s AI platform:
“You’re not just getting a snapshot — you’re getting the full plot of the movie,” said Matt, comparing legacy tools to TuMeke’s continuous capture approach.
Beyond compliance, Scott pointed to a deeper benefit: building a culture of care.
“When employees see their company investing in their well-being, morale improves. Productivity improves. Retention improves,” he said.
Alicia added that forward-thinking companies — even those not legally required to comply yet — are already implementing these tools to stay ahead and keep their workforce strong.
Scott and Alicia both agreed: Don’t be intimidated by the new law. Get educated. Get proactive.
“We’re not just here to meet minimum compliance,” Alicia said. “We’re here to help companies lead with confidence — and we can do that with tools that scale and data that speaks.”
