Pallet Rack: Enhancing
the Safety of Warehouses
When properly
utilized and applied,
pallet rack and pallet rack accessories will
greatly improve safety issues in any warehouse.
The keys to achieving the highest level of
safety is choosing the right type of pallet rack
for your facility, and then keeping that pallet
rack in good condition.
What can you and
your employees do to ensure your pallet rack
system is the best it can be?
- Use a
reputable rack supplier like A&A Surplus
Inc.
- Replace
pallet rack that has been damaged by
forklifts, rust, etc. A damaged pallet rack
beam could cause inventory to come crashing
down.
- Instruct
employees to keep pallet rack clean.
- Do not mix
brands or styles of pallet rack unless you
know it will work safely together. Check
with A&A Surplus Inc. or the manufacturers
first.
- Double check
pallet rack capacities and ensure that the
weight loads on your pallet rack are not
going to overload it.
- Arrange your
pallet rack so that it leaves as much space
as possible for employee movement, forklift
driving, sprinkler system water, lighting,
etc.
- Reduce
labor. Employees won’t have to lift and
carry as much if the pallet rack is set up
for optimal efficiency.
- Reduce
forklift use. Organize your warehouse so
that forklifts travel as little as possible,
since forklifts cause the most serious
injuries in a warehouse.
- Provide a
lot of lighting and space for the light to
shine through in your warehouse’s pallet
rack aisles.
- Give your
employees continuing education and training
about working safely with pallet rack,
forklifts, conveyors, etc.
- Post signs
and visible instructions on your pallet
rack.
- Schedule
regular inspections of your warehouse to
find unsafe pallet rack conditions.
- Stabilize
the loads on your pallet racks with shrink
wrap, decking, etc.
