Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Refrigerated warehouse workers handle receiving, storing, and shipping goods such as food and pharmaceuticals in temperature-controlled warehouses.
Description
Refrigerated warehouse workers handle receiving, storage, picking, and shipping of temperature-sensitive goods such as food and pharmaceuticals. During operations, the warehouse is maintained at around 0°C, requiring temperature and hygiene management to preserve quality. They operate forklifts and pallet jacks to efficiently transport and sort goods, and also handle data entry into inventory management systems, label affixing, and packing. Since work is in a cold environment, appropriate cold protection measures and safety awareness are necessary.
Future Outlook
Due to the expansion of the EC market and increasing logistics demand for food, the demand for refrigerated warehouse workers is expected to remain stable. Improvements in work efficiency are anticipated through automation and robot introduction, but manual labor is expected to continue to some extent.
