Industrial Storage Racking

Storage racks are very common in industrial and manufacturing settings. Racks that are used to store materials have inherent risks and poor maintenance can result in serious injuries, and even death.

Ensure your storage racks are designed, installed, used, and maintained properly. Understand what the hazards of racking are in your environment in order to prevent incidents, injuries, lost time, and costs.

A safe industrial storage racking program will:

  • Ensure that racking is installed and uninstalled by a qualified person in accordance with instructions from the manufacturer
  • Provide documentation of the manufacturer instructions available to workers
  • Include regular inspections and maintenance of the racks.
