A Warehouse Worker’s general role consists of receiving, sorting, and stocking goods for later dispatching. Warehouses are used mainly by companies, businesses, and sometimes individuals to store and keep items of different natures, including food, products, technological objects, clothes, and furniture. 
 
Warehouse Workers use specialized tools to sort, inventory, and store the items they receive, from specialized software for accounting to heavy-lifting machines for storing in secure places. They are usually hired by storage facilities, harbors, and distribution centers. Some companies may be big enough to have their own warehouse and employees, but most companies and businesses use independent storage warehouses for these purposes. 
 
The job of a Warehouse Worker is important as they help ensure the safety and security of stored goods while also keeping an inventory to help with later distribution. They need to be able to lift heavy objects and use machines, as well as have good organizational skills to keep track of the items they receive.
