Warehouse Safety Tip: Pallet Rack Inspections

Preventative maintenance is most likely performed on all machinery and equipment in your warehouse or distribution center. However, likely the largest system in your warehouse got overlooked: Your Rack System! We recommend inspecting your warehouse pallet racking at least once a year and we also recommend it be performed by a warehouse rack expert. Below is a list of some items that should always be watched by your warehouse associates:

• Anchors in the uprights and any column protectors

• All safety clips on beams

• Footplates on uprights

• Deflection on beams

• Dents on upright column

• Dents on the beams

• All accessories and/or hardware
