I think regular taking of inventory can help to minimise this. You can detect goods that are about to spoil and have them swapped or something.
The workers should also be well informed, cause most of these employees do not care how they handle things most times, since it does not belong to them, they dont care. If possible, let them know that whoever damages any things would have to pay for it from their salaries.
You also have to know the particular storage conditions of goods that you bring into the warehouse and make sure that the goods are stored in that recommended conditions.
It is true that some employee don't take care of things well. I am guilty of that too when I was working. Manhandling of things in the workplace can lead to wastage and loss for the business.
I do think that regular inventory can prevent this situation. In order for them to have the best quality of products, they need to keep on doing this. This is the best course of action to deal with this concern.
One of the best way for you to control product damage when they are stored in the warehouse is to make sure that they are properly packed by those that are packing the product for you and make sure that they don't handle them roughly.
Check their best before often. Also, bring out the earlier stocked goods to the front and strive to sell out those ones first before you start selling stock that are recent.b
